RESEARCH PROJECT?
• Emerging trends on the Web
• Challenges to understanding and guiding the development of the Web
• Structuring research to support the exploitation of opportunities created by (inter
alia) ubiquity, mobility, new media and the increasing amount of data available
online.
• Ensuring important social properties such as privacy are respected.
• Identifying and preserving the essential invariants of the Web experience.
Scope Web Science
• As Tim Berners-Lee et al. (2006a)
stated: ‘neither the Web nor the world is
static’.
• The Internet is evolving alongside
society.
• Social and technical innovation drive
each other.
Web Science: Dynamic Discipline
Web Science
Definitions
“Web Science is the study of the most
complex piece of technology ever created.
The Web comprises billions of technical and
human components operating globally, with
each piece subtly influencing the others.
Multiple expert perspectives across scientific
disciplines are required to build an
understanding of how the Web changes
society just as much as society changes
the Web”.
Web Science Trust, http://webscience.org/

ambiguous
phrase

Web Science & Future of the Internet:
Imagining the Internet
https://www.elon.edu/u/imagining
“The Web has evolved to be many things:
a network, a service, a means of social
interaction, a marketplace, a source of
news, a repository of knowledge, a
database of multimedia content, and an
integral part of human activity”.
Bauckhage & Kersting (2016)
A Web of Many Things
Analyze the
interplay of
technology
and behavior
Memex
“Consider a future device … in which an
individual stores all his books, records, and
communications, and which is mechanized
so that it may be consulted with exceeding
speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged
intimate supplement to his memory.”
Vannevar Bush, 1945
As We May Think
Xanadu: The complex, the changing and
the indeterminate
Let me introduce the word "hypertext"***~
to mean a body of written or pictorial
material interconnected in such a complex
way that it could not conveniently be
presented or represented on paper.
Ted Nelson, 1965
Complex information processing: a file
processing: a file structure for the complex,
the complex, the changing and the
the indeterminate

Search
• Prior to September 1993, the World Wide Web was
entirely indexed by hand: A list of webservers edited
by Tim Berners-Lee and hosted on
the CERN webserver
• I was born in 1978. When I turned 40, Google turned
20. I have spent more than half my life with this search
engine.
• In my work (web development and learning design),
accessibility standards and SEO play a significant role.
Mobile & Ubiquitous
• On average globally, 49 percent of web use is
mobile.
• Smartphones entry to consumer market: late 90s
• Apple iPhone 2007 / Android 2008.
• I got my first iPod when I turned 31.
• I bought my first Smartphone when I turned 42.
• My group manages 70+ sites. Roughly 1/3 of our
web traffic is mobile.
In our everyday lives we no longer distinguish
between online and offline.
Lone Dog's
Winter Count is
one of the best
known Winter
Counts and
records the
years between
1801 and 1871
for the Lakota
Sioux.
Information technologies change the way
we think
Over to YOU: 15 minutes
• Be a winter count keeper in a global networked society.
• Create a visual timeline: Think about technical milestones, national events
and your personal milestones (For example: When did you first use specific
technologies? What was available when you started elementary school vs.
now?).
• You can use pen and paper.
• Take a picture and share through files in the Zoom chat.
