Abstract

Fisherfolk communities in developing nations face marginalization due to low literacy levels and socio-economic challenges, leading to reduced interest in fishing and the loss of vital, undocumented tacit knowledge. To address this, we conducted focus group discussions and interviews in Bangladesh and Indonesia, extracting knowledge components from the conversational data to develop knowledge graphs. These graphs visually represent facts, attributes, and relationships, facilitating knowledge extraction. We compared manual and automated graph development using Large Language Models (LLMs), demonstrating their potential to systematically identify, preserve, and share critical fishing knowledge. Future work involves testing this framework with fisherfolk to preserve and disseminate this essential knowledge.
