The document discusses the ARCOMEM project, which aims to identify and preserve relevant social media content. The project consortium is funded by the EC from 2011-2013. The project looks at use cases like archiving social media discussions around rock festivals and the Euro crisis. It discusses the challenges of determining what social media content is relevant and developing archiving workflows and tools to collect, analyze, archive, and present this content to archivists and journalists. This includes analyzing social and semantic information to filter content and storing it in accessible formats. The goal is to help users like archivists and journalists find and understand relevant social media discussions around different events and topics.
