'There are some problems that we are not good at solving, such as climate change, energy, water, nutrition, health, disease control - issues which are multicultural, require negotiation, and involve large amounts of emotion and polarization. These problems can鈥檛 be solved by our existing tools and disciplines. They need a new multidisciplinary approach.聽 Web Science must be about the ability to collaborate at a meta-layer,鈥 he said, 鈥榖eyond disciplines, rather than to augment and increase the science in a single discipline.'
