The Use of Traditional Knowledge Resource Classification (TKRC) for Institutional Repository: A study of Indian Cuisines.

Abstract

Creating an Institutional Repository (IR) for the protection of traditional Indian cuisines is explored, which would be a supplement to the existing traditional Indian cuisine database in CFTRI. An IR was created in order to bring the communities and practioners together interested in Indian Cuisines. A Traditional Knowledge Resource Classification (TKRC), similar to International Patent Classification (IPC) has been used for organizing and retrieval of the resources.
