Web science

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. This is very similar to the ISchool movement.

Some initial areas of interest are:
*Trust and privacy
*Social Networks
*Collaboration

* World Wide Web
* Webology
* Webometrics
* Web Engineering
