WOW 2013 - 1st International Web Observatory Workshop

Numerous research labs around the world are building Web Observatories and conducting studies within them, many highly advanced, but typically developed in isolation. The objectives of the workshop are therefore:
A forum for reporting, presenting, and evaluating this work and disseminating new approaches to advance the discipline;
An opportunity to explore how Web Observatories might in the future interoperate - be that through the exchange of data, metadata, remote access, algorithms, or results;
A venue for critically and constructively evaluating and verifying the operation of Web Observatories and the results that flow from them;
Inauguration of a workshop series for the Web Observatory research community, setting the agenda for research in the field.
