  2. What is Web Science? Wrong Question! Michalis Vafopoulos

  3. Web Science: Trans-disciplinary study of the Web Structure? Goals? Michalis Vafopoulos

  4. Contents • next steps? • Science Subject Categorization • Web Science SSC • Top level • Second level • Discussion pages.usherbrooke.ca/ncliche/wordpress/wp-content/web20301.jpg Michalis Vafopoulos

  5. next steps? • Fundamental research question • Workshops, seminar, conferences • Public awareness, projects • Scientific communities • Courses, degrees • Journal (review papers) • Science Subject Categorization • Trans-disciplinary journals Michalis Vafopoulos

  6. Science Subject Categorization • What? Autonomous taxonomic trees (i.e. ACM, PACS) • Why?Organize and Communicate scientific knowledge • How? doc, pdf, XML, Ontologies (Systems Biology) • When?Updates every 10 years • Our proposal: • Semantic representation (i.e. SKOS) • Linked to other Science Subject Categorizations • Wiki discussion Michalis Vafopoulos

  7. Web Science Subject Categorization (WSSC) • Based on Web Science and WWW conferences • Links to: • ACM – computing • AMS – mathematics • JEL – economics • Sociological Abstracts Classification Scheme • Political Science Abstracts Classification Scheme • Internal connections • PACS – physics (in the future) • Others?

  14. Web Science Subject Categorization (WSSC) • Input is welcome in every aspect from all scientists based on real examples of Web-related research • Trans-disciplinary conferences and journals • Attract scientists from various disciplines • Autonomous bachelor and master courses Michalis Vafopoulos

  15. Thank you for your attention. Wiki: http://wiki.websciencetrust.org/w/Web_Science_Subject_Categorization_(WSSC):_a_proposal_for_discussion Michalis Vafopoulos

  16. SKOS for WSSC Additional material Michalis Vafopoulos

  17. Web Science Subject Categorization in SKOS • SKOS: “Simple Knowledge Organisation System(s) • Why: • Simple, extensible, machine-understandable representation for “concept schemes” • Thesauri • Classification Schemes • Taxonomies • Subject Headings • Other types of ‘controlled vocabulary’… Michalis Vafopoulos
