The Local Contexts Traditional Knowledge and Biocultural Labels establish Indigenous cultural authority and governance over Indigenous data and collections by adding provenance information, protocols, and permissions for access, use, and circulation. Developed through sustained partnership and testing within Indigenous communities across multiple countries, the Labels allow communities to communicate existing community rules, governance, and protocols for using, sharing, and circulating knowledge and data. In this oral presentation, Local Contexts team members will introduce the Local Contexts Labels, how they have been used around the world, and if they might be a good fit for your community.
