is a Data Source.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) maintains a portal and associated resources on traditional knowledge (TK), traditional cultural expressions, and genetic resources, including documentation related to traditional and herbal medicine knowledge held by indigenous and local communities. WIPO's TK pages provide policy materials, guidance, and links to databases and registries of traditional knowledge, such as documentation of traditional medicinal systems that intersect with pharmacology and natural product research. These resources have been cited as an upstream reference for PharmDB, a database of traditional Korean medicine. The portal serves as a reference hub rather than a single downloadable dataset.
