  • Towards A Taxonomy For Web Observatories by Ian Brown

    I propose an initial structure to support a taxonomy for Web Observatories (WO). The work is based on a small sample of cases drawn from the work of the Web Science Trust and the Web Science Institute and reflects aspects of academic, business and government Observatories. Whilst this is early work it is hoped, by drawing broad brushstrokes at the edges of different types of Observatory, that future work based on a more systematic review will refine this model and hence refine our understanding of the nature of Observatories. We also seek here to enhance a faceted classification scheme (which is thought to be weak in the area of visualisation) through the use of simplified concept maps.

    Aordance Structure


    Dierent requirements on
    the Observatory lead to
    dierent aordances and
    hence dierent types of
    WO

    IdenAfy the aordances,
    process structures and
    soluAon structures from a
    range of case studies and
    literature across the
    literatures and cases

    Generate common facets
    from the set of collected
    features + uses


    Organise the facets into a
    candidate structure

    Test a range of
    Observatories against

    Process structures
