CHAPTER 1 ?– LEARNING FROM SPECIFIC MASHUPS 19
questions (What is being combined? Why are these elements being combined? Where is the
remixing or recombination happening? How are they being combined, in terms of the interface
and behind the scenes in the technical machinery? How can the mashup be extended?),
you saw a repeated pattern:
1. Data is extracted from a source web site.
2. This data is translated into a form meaningful to the destination web site.
3. The repackaged data is sent to the destination site.
There are important differences among the various mashups, specifically in where the
integration happens and what is being integrated. For instance, Housingmaps.com is a serverside
application, whereas the mashing up of GMiF and LibraryLookup occurs within the
browser.
Now that you have a sense of how mashups are constructed and what they are used for,
you??™ll turn now to a study of the individual services and sources of data that can be recombined.
Uncovering the Mashup
Potential of Web Sites
In the previous chapter, you studied several examples of mashups in depth. With the goal of
learning how to create your own mashups, you??™ll turn now to the raw ingredients of mashups??”
individual web sites and web applications.
