Web Coherence
Web Coherence is a community of Internet users that aims to study the Internet through experiments and observations and publish Internet best practices to its audience.
Web Coherence was established by Professor Ian Angell and his students at the London School of Economics in March 2009.
Overview
The purpose of Web Coherence is to improve user interaction with the Internet by studying various phenomena and publishing Internet usage best practices, articles, and user stories to its members. Web Coherence supports its members in carrying out experiments, in the expectation that their participation will lead to a better understanding by the e-community of its relationship with the Internet. They also promote student and researcher activities by providing them with the platform and necessary infrastructure to carry out their experiments. Their findings are published to the general web audience and suggest Internet usage best practices.
The organisation follows a strict code of conduct and does not engage in malicious activities such as hacking on the Internet. All experiments carried out undergo strict supervision before being tried out. It does not disclose the identity of its members unless permission has been explicitly obtained from them.
Membership
Web Coherence members are IT professionals, professors, researchers, students, and general Internet users.
Contributing members of Web Coherence specialize in various subjects including information systems, technology, legal policies and procedures, security, management, decision sciences, and web programming.
Public awareness
Web Coherence explains Internet phenomena and their potential impact through an active public relations program and a website, which includes user stories, case studies, articles, and best practices.
