Developed by an international team of experts, PREMIS is implemented in digital preservation projects around the world, and support for PREMIS is incorporated into a number of commercial and open-source digital preservation tools and systems. The PREMIS Editorial Committee coordinates revisions and implementation of the standard, which consists of the Data Dictionary, an XML schema, and supporting documentation. The PREMIS Data Dictionary is currently in version 2.2. A new major release 3.0 is due out this summer. This webinar gives a brief overview of why digital preservation metadata is needed, shows examples of digital preservation metadata, shows how PREMIS can be used to capture this metadata, and illustrates some of the changes that will be available in version 3.0. *SPEAKER:* Dr. Angela Dappert is Senior Research Fellow at the University of Portsmouth. She has widely researched and published on digital preservation.

With the help of the computational intelligence, these digital ecosystems can exhibit new self-* properties (such as self-management, self-healing and self-configuration) 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 web-based resources mainly comprehend big data management, innovative services, smart and self-* properties platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems, 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, intelligent 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 big 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 computational and collective IntElligence in 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.

Organizations have always taken a keen interest in retaining and (re)using knowledge as it is a critical asset for them. The importance of knowledge management in improving business processes cannot be overemphasized since it creates value. However, the tools and strategies for the creation, collection, storage and dissemination of knowledge have changed significantly over the last decade with the emergence of social media. Social media is the use of collaborative online applications and technologies for the creation, sharing and application of information by facilitating a social environment amongst users. Social media encompasses a variety of tools such as blogs, discussion forums, chat rooms, social networking websites, video sharing websites, photo sharing websites, collaborative websites, social bookmarking websites and virtual worlds to list a few. These tools provide both interactivity and collaborative opportunities. As a result, social media has been embraced by individuals and organizations globally and its role in knowledge management is vital. Social media can be used for collecting, storing and disseminating knowledge to the right people at the right time in the right place and in the right format and can be seen as an enabler of efficient knowledge management processes. The proposed book endeavors to provide a holistic insight into the management and technological perspectives of the role of social media in knowledge management. It will explore the usage of social media in knowledge management from an organizational and/or individualistic viewpoint, looking at the opportunities and challenges that are encountered in using and implementing social media. Most importantly, in order to make the book a 'one-stop shop or portal' for global information about social media in knowledge management, the book aims to publish chapters related to people, processes, practices, technology, and the environment, which enable the identification, creation, sharing, storage, application and (re)use of knowledge through the use of social media. Specific recommended topics can be found further below. Objective A current holistic understanding of social media in knowledge management is needed by practitioners and researchers alike. This book will fill that gap and endeavor to become a premier source of useful and current information in this field. This book will provide a concise and holistic understanding of the issues and challenges that can be encountered when exploiting social media for managing knowledge. It is anticipated the book will highlight the key enablers and barriers of the use of social media for knowledge management in organizations. It will further provide practical guidelines and frameworks that can be adopted to make implementation efforts of social media for managing knowledge successful globally. The book will be a very pragmatic resource for information system managers, business managers, administrators, academics, researchers and students who need to understand the multiple applications of social media in knowledge management from both a theoretical and practical perspective, in order to harness the true potential of this rapidly growing phenomenon i.e. social media. Target Audience The book will have both theoretical and practical implications for policy makers who wish to embed social media to help manage organizational knowledge. Possible beneficiaries of the book will also include organizations that will be able to use social media in their knowledge management efforts with an aim to improve processes and performance. It will also be a valuable resource to managers, academics, students and researchers who wish to conduct further study into this field by providing valuable and contemporary insight. The book will also be an excellent resource for libraries, professional bodies and organizations that deal with knowledge management and need information about the role social media can play. It is hoped the book will open up further avenues and opportunities for future research into the area of social media in knowledge management in a diverse range of settings by providing a cross-disciplinary approach.
