"Web science" is recognized as a branch of knowledge

Assessing the impact of the Internet on the life of modern man, researchers from the USA and the UK decided to study web science as a separate branch of knowledge. From now on, web science will be studied along with computer science, information technology and other areas of human knowledge.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, together with staff from the University of Southampton, will participate in a web science research program. The campaign is led by a leading researcher at MIT, a professor at Southampton University and the director of the W3C consortium, Tim Berners-Lee.

Web science, according to participants in the program, goes beyond the traditional theory of computing. It differs from computer science primarily in that it develops not only in technical, but also in social areas, writes the NY Times .
