The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations. Topics ------- MEDES 2014 seeks contributions in the following 10 areas: 1. Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure 2. Cloud computing 3. Emergent Intelligence 4. Service systems and Engineering 5. Trust, Security & Privacy 6. Data & Knowledge Management 7. Intelligent Web 8. Human-Computer Interaction 9. Networks and Protocols 10. Open Source Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP.

The longer length allows the depth of coverage of a conference coupled with the convenience of a webinar. Date: April 23, 2014 Time: 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Eastern Event webpage: www.niso.org/news/events/2014/virtual/data_deluge/ ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE With the expansion of digital data collection and the increased expectations of data sharing, researchers are turning to their libraries or institutional repositories as a place to store and preserve that data. Many institutions have created such data management services and see the data curation role as a growing and important element of their service portfolio. While some of the experience in managing other types of digital resources is transferrable, the management of large-scale scientific data has many special requirements and challenges. From metadata collection and cataloging data sources, to identification, discovery, and preservation, best practices and standards are still in their infancy. NISO's April 23 Virtual Conference, Dealing with the Data Deluge: Successful Techniques for Scientific Data Management-to be held from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Eastern-will explore in greater depth than traditional webinars some of the practical lessons from those who have implemented data management and developed best practices, as well as provide some insight into the evolving issues the community faces.

The announcement is at http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/03/20/fossils-seeds-and-space-rocks-impr oving-management-and-access-nation-s-scientific-co and the directive itself is at http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/ostp_memo_scie ntific_collections_march_2014.pdf A short quote from the directive that provides some sense of the scope: Therefore, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) hereby directs each Federal agency that owns, maintains, or otherwise financially supports permanent scientific collections to develop a draft scientific-collections management and access policy within six months. Agencies should collaborate through the IWGSC [the Interagency Working Group on Scientific Collections] while developing these draft policies to reduce redundancy and identify opportunities for common requirements and standards. The end goal will be a systematic improvement of the development, management, accessibility, and preservation of scientific collections owned and/or funded by Federal agencies. The requirements below are intended to apply to institutional scientific collections owned, maintained, or financially supported by the U.S. Government. This policy applies to scientific collections, known in some disciplines as institutional collections, permanent collections, archival collections, museum collections, or voucher collections, which are assets with long-term scientific value. Materials assembled specifically for short-term use, sometimes referred to as "project collections", and not intended for long-term preservation, do not fall under this policy, but such collections should be reviewed periodically and carefully to ensure that they should not be considered institutional collections.

Launched in June 2012, the NISO Demand Driven Acquisition (DDA) Working Group was charged with developing a flexible model for DDA (also referred to as patron-driven acquisition) that works for publishers, vendors, aggregators, and libraries. The draft Recommended Practice discusses and makes recommendations about key aspects of DDA, goals and objectives of a DDA program, choosing parameters of the program, profiling options, managing MARC records for DDA, removing materials from the consideration pool, assessment of the program, providing long-term access to un-owned content, consortial considerations for DDA, and public library DDA. ?Libraries have embraced DDA because it has the potential to rebalance the collection away from possible use toward immediate need,? stated Michael Levine-Clark, Associate Dean for Scholarly Communication and Collections Services at University of Denver Libraries and NISO DDA Working Group Co-chair. ?It is important that, regardless of the model used, the program be sustainable for publishers, vendors, and libraries, that there is some free discovery without triggering purchase, and that discovery is integrated in some way with other tools in use by the library. This Recommended Practice addresses all those issues and more.? ?The guidelines in this draft Recommended Practice will allow libraries to develop DDA plans for both electronic and print books that meet differing local collecting and budgetary needs while also allowing consortial participation and cross-aggregator implementation,? explained Barbara Kawecki, Director of Sales, Western U.S. at YBP Library Services and NISO DDA Working Group Co-chair. ?Although DDA has been adopted primarily by academic libraries, greater interest in and use of DDA by public libraries is expected in the future and these recommendations should work equally well for them.? ?The DDA Working Group conducted focus groups and surveyed a wide variety of existing users of DDA prior to developing their recommendations,? said Nettie Lagace, NISO Associate Director for Programs. ?We are interested in feedback on this draft Recommended Practice from organizations already involved with DDA as well as those just getting started or considering a DDA program. This feedback will be used to make any needed revisions to the document before final publication of the recommendations.? The draft recommended practice is open for public comment through April 24, 2014.

NISO provides this Year in Review issue on an annual basis to keep readers apprised of all the accomplishments of our community in the past year. "NISO's standards and recommended practices development pipeline has more than 20 active projects," states Nettie Lagace, NISO's Associate Director for Programs. "In 2013, we published two new standards, four recommended practices, and a new technical report. We also issued drafts for public comment of one standard and two recommended practices. Four new projects were launched, two of them funded with grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. These are all described in more detail in this issue of ISQ." "NISO's role as the U.S. Administrator for the ISO TC46 Committee on Information and Documentation and the Secretariat for the subcommittee on Identification and Description ensures that our community has an active role in international standards development as well," explains Cynthia Hodgson, ISQ Managing Editor and a consultant for NISO who helps manage the ISO work. "The work of TC 46 and its five subcommittees during the past year -including the newly revised SC on Document Storage and Conditions for Preservation-is summarized in this issue of ISQ. Additionally, in May 2014, NISO will be hosting, on behalf of ANSI, the annual meeting week of TC46-the first meeting in the U.S. in ten years. A two-page spread in the issue highlights this meeting and its sponsors." "We also are celebrating this summer the 75th anniversary of NISO's founding," states Todd Carpenter, NISO's Executive Director. "The leaders in the library community who came together back in 1939 were visionaries who saw the need for our community to collaboratively solve issues through standards development. In 2009 for our 70th anniversary, we published a timeline of NISO's milestones since its 1939 founding; for this issue of ISQ we have updated the timeline with milestones over the past five years. NISO and its community of volunteers have much to be proud of, as this issue of ISQ clearly illustrates." The Spring issue also contains the annual reference listing of all of NISO's published standards, recommended practices, and technical reports. Information Standards Quarterly is available electronically in open access from the NISO website at: www.niso.org/publications/isq/. ISQ is also available in print format by subscription or in print on demand.
