Overview
In this book, Yuzuru Tanaka proposes a powerful new paradigm: that knowledge media, or "memes," operate in a way that closely resembles the biological function of genes, with their network publishing repository working as a gene pool to accelerate the evolution of knowledge shared in our societies. In Meme Media and Meme Market Architectures: Knowledge Media for Editing, Distributing, and Managing Intellectual Resources, Tanaka outlines a ready-to-use knowledge media system, supplemented with sample media objects, which allows readers to experience the knowledge media paradigm.Synopsis
Tanaka (computer architecture, Hokkaido U.) believes that the decade of 2000 will be characterized by the marketing of memes, cultural counterparts of biological genes invented by Richard Dawkins, through meme media, which will allow people to free memes from the World Wide Web and its browsers and re-edit and redistribute them. He explores such media from perspectives of the potential for enabling technology, software architecture, and applications. His focus is on meme pool and meme market architecture for re-editing and redistributing memes without violating competitive business activities. Co-published with IEEE Press.
