What is Indigenous Digital Excellence—Puliima 2015
- 2. Australia’s First Peoples have been innovating for more than 40,000 years. So what happens when digital technology is embraced by the world’s oldest living culture? We believe the answer is Indigenous Digital Excellence.

NATIONAL IDX STRATEGY: DISCUSSION PAPER 3 See Identifying the IDX opportunity on p. 64 for more on these activities. 4 http://www.google.com/glass/ start/ 5 http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/3D_printing 6 The diffusion of innovations [see reference 1] serves as the basis for this element. We acknowledge that this may be somewhat subjective and definitely changes over time. For example, at the time of writing ‘tablet computing’ would probably be considered ‘emerging’, yet based on its adoption rate this type of technology will likely be considered ‘mainstream’ within 18 months to two years. 7 http://fitbit.com WHAT DOES IDX LOOK LIKE? So what, exactly, is IDX? How do we tell if something is IDX? What are we working towards achieving? We started exploring these questions through the IDEA Summit, as well as through conversations with community3. As we dug deeper, we felt it would be useful to assemble a wide set of examples of projects, initiatives and activities that could be considered IDX and analyse them. From this foundation we were able to develop a ‘working model’ of what IDX looks like in practice. WHAT IS ‘DIGITAL EXCELLENCE’? We first sought to define what ‘Digital Excellence’ might be, regardless of its origin. We propose that for something to be viewed as an expression/achievement of Digital Excellence, it needs to be positioned ‘above the line’ in at least one of the following two elements (i.e. more than As intended usage of a Mainstream tool). Usage Is how the technology being used innovative in itself? Is it being used in a way that is creative? i.e. even where the technology itself isn’t necessarily innovative in its design, is the way something is used or engaged with still an example of innovation? Has it been specifically adapted or customised (especially to reflect an Indigenous perspective and/or culture)? Is the software being used on a device (e.g. an app or website) newly created? Device How much innovation is there in the device itself? For an existing technology, are they ‘cutting edge’ (e.g. Google Glass4 or 3D printing5), or ‘emerging’ and being engaged by early adopters6 (e.g. Fitbit7 or similar ‘quantified self’ tools)? Or is the technology being newly created (e.g. a new type of digital device)? Or is it just an existing, mainstream tool (e.g. a laptop or smartphone)?
