The link provided below is to an article published in Medical Library Association’s International Cooperation Section’s Spring 2009 newsletter pertaining to the creation of a traditonal knowledge
digital repository in response to India’s repeated appeals to WIPO and WTO
to protect that nation from the machinations of misappropriation of its traditional knowledge in the form of its indigenous medical systems.
The article is deemed appropriately placed here as India’s traditional medical practices, processes, and products can be viewed as other examples of TCE (derived as they were from the ancient Vedas). TKDL may prove to be a valuable guide in ALA’s considerations and deliberations.
