WHAT IS WEB INTELLIGENCE?

   Web Intelligence (WI) is a new direction for scientific research and
   development that explores the fundamental roles as well as practical
   impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced Information
   Technology (IT) on the next generation of Web-empowered products,
   systems, services, and activities.
