= = = The KIDMM wiki = Managing humanity’s assets of knowledge, information and data has rapidly become one of the major uses of computing technology. **The KIDMM initiative** (Knowledge, Information, Data and Metadata Management) was born out a shared interest in this phenomenon by a number of Specialist Groups of the British Computer Society, but now includes a broader community of interest around these topics. More information can be found on [|the KIDMM web site]

This wiki was set up primarily to support the exploration of wikis intended to support knowledge-sharing within organisations and communities, and particularly the **Knowledge Wiki Workshop** held on July 8th 2009 at Brunel University (Department of Education).

The wiki is hosted on Wikispaces, a hosting service, under their free hosting plan. As such, it is available for members of the general public to read, though only approved members of the KIDMM wiki can edit the pages. For many members of this team, it is their first experience of contributing to a wiki.
