Community consultants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the vision and intent of the Hawaiian Knowledge Organization System is centered around co-creation, there is an intentional focus on community engagement across the project\u2019s life span, as well as a concerted effort towards building a community of practice around knowledge organization and social justice. Thus, we work in consultation with loea, or Hawaiian knowledge experts. These experts share insights into Indigenous Hawaiian epistemologies, language, and culture. Loea meet with the Project Team to provide in-depth feedback into project developments while sharing their communities\u2019 specific challenges and needs relevant to each project phase. In addition to loea, our team also consults with technical knowledge organization experts who specialize in metadata creation and Indigenous vocabularies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
