探討Web 2.0 數位典藏網站之使用意向-以泰雅文化為例

Abstract

The results of o linguistic studies suggest that Taiwan is the origin of Austronesian languages. Therefore Formosan aboriginal culture items such as, artifacts, clothesings and paintings are all invaluable cultural heritages. For this reason, how to use information technology to help preserve, glorify and revitalize the culture of our aboriginal ancestors deserves great attention. The traditional Formosan cultural heriages in traditioanl villages are phasing out due tio chnages of the living styles and threats from outside.. Digital archives is an important project that every country is currently eagerly implementing. Through the digital archiving project, cultural artifacts can be better preserved and promoted. It also can allow the ‘refined culture’ to be made more accessible to the general public and provide additional value for application in various industries. In this paper, we use the Content Management System to construct Open Source coding to build a digital archive museum. In our digital museum, we define the artifacts by their appropriate metadata and use Topic Maps to connect all the contents to form a comprehensive knowledge bank. In addition, to conduct one-way information provision and two-way information communication with users, a range of ‘Web 2.0’ elements including RSS feeds, tag clouds, communities, Wiki and many other technologies are employed in the knowledge management platform to provide the additional features of user interaction such as knowledge sharing and the promotion of joint creation. This research illustrates the practical implementation of digital archives using the example of aboriginal artifacts of the Atayal aborigines in the Tai-an Township area of Miaoli County. The digital collection includes the everyday essential tools used by the Atayal aborigines, their traditional arts and crafts, and specialty arts. The objective for our research is for developing an integrating tool for educational purpose. Therefore, school teachers and students can share and effectively apply the resources from the research findings. Another objective is to revitalize and commercialize the cultural industry by using the content of the digital archive website as the basis for joining forces with professional talents and teachers to achieve maximum creativity and create digital learning products that provide applicability, practicality and creativity.
