dharmae

In a changing climate, water raises increasingly complex challenges: concerning its quantity, quality, availability, allocation, use and significance as a habitat, resource and cultural medium. Dharmae, a ‘Data Hub of Australian Research on Marine and Aquatic Ecocultures’ brings together multi-disciplinary research data relating to water in all these forms. The term “ecoculture” guides the development of this collection and its approach to data discovery. Ecoculture recognizes that, since nature and culture are inextricably linked, there is a corresponding need for greater interconnectedness of the different knowledge systems applied to them.

在气候变化日益加剧的背景下，水资源所面临的挑战愈发复杂，涉及其数量、质量、可用性、分配、使用及其作为栖息地、资源和文化遗产的重要性。Dharmae，即‘澳大利亚海洋与水生生态文化研究数据集’，汇聚了与上述所有形式的水相关的多学科研究数据。‘生态文化’这一术语指导了该数据集的构建及其数据发现方法。生态文化理念认识到，鉴于自然与文化密不可分，对应用于它们的不同知识体系之间的更大互联性亦有着相应的需求。
