Science Subject Categorization• What? Autonomous taxonomic trees (i.e. ACM, PACS)
• Why? Organize and Communicate scientific knowledge
• How? doc, pdf, XML, Ontologies (Systems Biology)
• When? Updates every 10 years• Our proposal: – Semantic representation (i.e. SKOS)– Linked to other Science Subject Categorizations– Wiki discussion

Web Science Subject Categorization (WSSC)
• Based on Web Science and WWW conferences• Links to:– ACM – computing– AMS – mathematics– JEL – economics – Sociological Abstracts Classification Scheme– Political Science Abstracts Classification Scheme– Internal connections– PACS – physics (in the future)– Others?

Web Science Subject Categorization (WSSC)
• Input is welcome in every aspect from all scientists based on real examples of Web-related research
• Trans-disciplinary conferences and journals• Attract scientists from various disciplines• Autonomous bachelor and master courses

Web Science Subject Categorization in SKOS
• SKOS: “Simple Knowledge Organisation System(s)• Why:– Simple, extensible, machine-understandable
representation for “concept schemes”– Thesauri– Classification Schemes– Taxonomies– Subject Headings– Other types of ‘controlled vocabulary’…
