TempWeb 2018 Chairs' Welcome and Organization

Abstract

Time is a key dimension to understand the Web. It is fair to say that it has not received yet all the attention it deserves and TempWeb is an attempt to help remedy this situation by putting time as the center of its reflection. Studying time in this context actually covers a large spectrum, from the extraction of temporal information and knowledge, to diachronic studies for the design of infrastructural and experimental settings enabling a proper observation of this dimension.
