  abstract =	 {This text sets out a series of approaches to the
                  analysis and synthesis of the World Wide Web, and
                  other web-like information structures. A
                  comprehensive set of research questions is outlined,
                  together with a sub-disciplinary breakdown,
                  emphasising the multi-faceted nature of the Web, and
                  the multi-disciplinary nature of its study and
                  development. These questions and approaches together
                  set out an agenda for Web Science, the science of
                  decentralised information systems. Web Science is
                  required both as a way to understand the Web, and as
                  a way to focus its development on key
                  communicational and representational
                  requirements. The text surveys central engineering
                  issues, such as the development of the Semantic Web,
                  Web services and P2P. Analytic approaches to
                  discover the Web's topology, or its graph-like
                  structures, are examined. Finally, the Web as a
                  technology is essentially socially embedded;
                  therefore various issues and requirements for Web
                  use and governance are also reviewed.},
