--- Reply ABOVE THIS LINE to post a comment to the project --- Company: OWEA Project: Open Web Education Alliance Link: https://webstandardsproject.grouphub.com/C45681601 Doug Schepers commented on a message: Hi, Mark- It's not hard to find what Tim Berners-Lee means by "Web Science"... there's a site devoted to it, the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) [1]. It includes things like protocols and developing new Web languages, the Semantic Web, and analyzing the Web as an information architecture and information repository, but also things like the sociology of the Web. As a curriculum, it's more graduate-level than I think what is planned for OWEA. I see the OWEA curriculum as laying the groundwork for some students who will later go into Web Science. But no matter what term we settle on instead (I prefer something plainspoken like "Web Development and Design"), I don't think it matters what individual educational institutions call their departments... not all computer science departments are called "Computer Science": computing science, information technology, software engineering, the list goes on. "Web Systems" seems fine to me, I don't think anyone's asking you to change that.
