What it is Filled
The Palembang are an indigenous ethnic group native to the Palembang region in southeastern Sumatra, Indonesia.
In scope
- Community names and self-identification support recognition of the ethnic group.
- Regional origins and relationships connect the community to southeastern Sumatra.
- Cultural, linguistic and historical accounts require attribution and recognition of internal diversity.
- The ethnic group is distinguished from the population and government of Palembang city.
- Representation of community identity includes uncertainty and differences among sources.
Out of scope
- Palembang city as an administrative or geographic entity is a separate model.
- South Sumatra province as a complete administrative entity is outside this model.
- The Musi drainage basin is outside this model except for relevant community relationships.
- The Srivijaya polity and Palembang Sultanate are separate historical entities.
- Individual identity cannot be determined from residence, appearance or language alone.
- Languages are separate entities even where they are associated with the community.
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to recognise the Palembang ethnic group, distinguish it from the city and its population, and represent community identity and cultural information without stereotyping.
Distinguishing features Filled
- The name identifies an ethnic group in this sense rather than a municipal population.
- The community's regional origins do not restrict membership to current residents of Palembang city.
- Residence in Palembang does not by itself establish Palembang ethnic identity.
- Cultural and linguistic associations do not imply that all community members share identical practices.
- Historical relationships with regional polities do not make the ethnic group identical to those polities.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Confuse the ethnic group with Palembang city, the Palembang Sultanate or South Sumatra province.
- Present outdated population figures as current.
- Stereotype community members or treat cultural practices as universal.
- Share identifiable ethnicity data without appropriate authorization and safeguards.
- Infer a person's ethnicity from appearance, address or language alone.
Only with a human decision
- Decisions involving identifiable ethnicity data or consequential classification of individuals require human review.
May
- Describe the community's history and culture using attributed sources.
- Report aggregate demographic information with its source, date and definition of membership.
Moral aspects Filled
- Community members should be represented without stereotypes or assumptions of cultural uniformity.
- Ethnicity data and cultural knowledge can expose people to discrimination or unwanted disclosure.
Who is affected
- Palembang community members are affected by representations of their identity.
- Community knowledge holders are affected by the use and attribution of cultural information.
Owners Filled
Steward
The community stewards its cultural knowledge, while record custodians are responsible for their records and do not own ethnic identity.
Master systems
- Community-governed records and attributed demographic sources document identity without determining individual membership.
