ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose a set of concepts underlying the process and requirements of observation: that is, the process of employing web observatories for research. We refer to observation as a new concept, distinct from search, which we believe is worthy of study in its own right and note that the process of observation moves the focus of information retrieval away from universal coverage and towards improved quality of results and thus has many potential facets not necessarily present in traditional search.

Towards a taxonomy for web observatories
WWW '14 Companion: Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on World Wide WebIn this paper, we 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, ...
The web observatory extension: facilitating web science collaboration through semantic markup
WWW '14 Companion: Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on World Wide WebThe multi-disciplinary nature of Web Science and the large size and diversity of data collected and studied by its practitioners has inspired a new type of Web resource known as the Web Observatory. Web observatories are platforms that enable ...
DNA: From Search to Observation Revisited
WebSci '15: Proceedings of the ACM Web Science ConferenceIn this paper, we describe extensions to the process model first described in the paper "From Search to Observation" based on additional field interview work. This process model forms part of a triad of perspectives under the banner of a methodology ...
