Web science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) is a joint effort of MIT and University of Southampton to bridge and formalize the social and technical aspects of collaborative applications running on large-scale networks like the web. It was announced on November 2, 2006 in MIT. Tim Berners-Lee is leading the program that also aims to attract government and private funds, and eventually produce undergraduate and graduate programs. Some initial areas of interest are:
- Trust and privacy
- Social Networks
- Collaboration
