An earlier definition was given by American computer scientist [[Ben Shneiderman]]: "Web Science" is a term that refers to processing the information available on the web in similar terms to those applied to natural environment.<ref>Ben Shneiderman. 2007. Web science: a provocative invitation to computer science. Commun. ACM 50, 6 (June 2007), 25-27. DOI=10.1145/1247001.1247022 http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1247001.1247022</ref>
The [[Web Science Institute]] describes Web Science as focusing "the analytical power of researchers from disciplines as diverse as mathematics, sociology, economics, psychology, law and computer science to understand and explain the Web. It is necessarily interdisciplinary - as much about social and organizational behaviour as about the underpinning technology."<ref>http://www.southampton.ac.uk/wsi/about/what_is_web_science.page?
