Principles guiding how material is selected, represented and connected on Ekologos Wiki.<br />

<!-- =====================================================<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
===================================================== --><br />
<br />
<div style="background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #dde2dc; border-radius:9px; padding:28px 32px; margin-bottom:20px;"><br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:1rem; line-height:1.8;"><br />
Ekologos Wiki is a curated knowledge platform. Material is selected and presented in ways that keep knowledge connected to the people, places, projects and circumstances through which it was produced. The following principles guide how records are written, reviewed and connected.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
</div><br />

<div style="display:flex; flex-wrap:wrap; gap:16px; margin-bottom:16px;"><br />
<br />
<div style="flex:1 1 440px; min-width:0; background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #dde2dc; border-radius:9px; padding:22px 24px; box-sizing:border-box; min-height:165px;"><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:1.2rem; font-weight:700; color:#173f2a;"><br />
Situated Rather Than Generic<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="width:32px; height:2px; background:#b79532; margin:6px 0 12px 0;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:0.93rem; line-height:1.7;"><br />
Knowledge should be presented in its particular context. Where possible, records should identify the relevant place, community, project, period and circumstances rather than presenting information as universally applicable.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
</div><div style="flex:1 1 440px; min-width:0; background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #dde2dc; border-radius:9px; padding:22px 24px; box-sizing:border-box; min-height:165px;"><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:1.2rem; font-weight:700; color:#173f2a;"><br />
Relational Rather Than Encyclopedic<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="width:32px; height:2px; background:#b79532; margin:6px 0 12px 0;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:0.93rem; line-height:1.7;"><br />
The Wiki is not intended to reproduce a general encyclopedia. Records should show relationships between people, places, projects, themes, publications, films and other materials.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
</div><br />

</div><br />

<br />
<div style="flex:1 1 440px; min-width:0; background:#edf3ee; border:1px solid #d7e1d8; border-radius:9px; padding:22px 24px; box-sizing:border-box; min-height:165px;"><br />

Provenance Before Authority<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="width:32px; height:2px; background:#b79532; margin:6px 0 12px 0;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:0.93rem; line-height:1.7;"><br />
It is important to show where knowledge comes from. Records should identify, where possible, who contributed the information, how it was produced or documented, and the sources on which it is based.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
</div><div style="flex:1 1 440px; min-width:0; background:#edf3ee; border:1px solid #d7e1d8; border-radius:9px; padding:22px 24px; box-sizing:border-box; min-height:165px;"><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family:Georgia,serif; font-size:1.2rem; font-weight:700; color:#173f2a;"><br />
Curated Openness<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="width:32px; height:2px; background:#b79532; margin:6px 0 12px 0;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:0.93rem; line-height:1.7;"><br />
Ekologos Wiki supports access to and sharing of knowledge, but material is reviewed before publication. Openness does not mean that every contribution or every form of knowledge should automatically be made public.<br />

<div style="font-size:0.93rem; line-height:1.7;"><br />
Authors, researchers, contributors, knowledge holders, photographers, filmmakers, communities and other sources should be acknowledged appropriately.<br />
</div><br />

Respect for Community Knowledge<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="width:32px; height:2px; background:#b79532; margin:6px 0 12px 0;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:0.93rem; line-height:1.7;"><br />
Community-derived knowledge should be represented with care. It should not be separated from its context, attributed incorrectly, or shared in ways that disregard permissions, restrictions or community concerns.<br />
</div><br />
<br />

RESEARCH INTERPRETATION<br />

Research Interpretation and Community Statements<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="width:36px; height:2px; background:#b79532; margin:7px 0 15px 0;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:0.97rem; line-height:1.8;"><br />
The Wiki should clearly distinguish between what people or communities report, describe or explain and how researchers interpret or analyse that material. Research interpretation should not be presented as though it were the direct statement of a community or participant.<br />
</div><br />
<br />
</div><br />
<br />

CLOSING NOTE<br />

<div style="background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #dde2dc; border-radius:9px; padding:24px 28px;"><br />
<br />
<div style="font-size:0.96rem; line-height:1.8; color:#536158;"><br />
Together, these principles are intended to support careful representation of context, provenance, attribution and community knowledge across Ekologos Wiki.<br />
