Abstract:
In current Web 2.0 developments the word “mashups” stands for a totally new way of flexible application bringing together several Web 2.0 services. Mashups form a serious new trend in web development by contextualizing existing services and bringing customizable applications to the user. Out of this, a new style of web-based applications arises. To get a better understanding of the phenomena of mashups, this paper observes and interprets the way the development of web based applications and appropriate background systems changed. It presents several state of the art Web 2.0 technologies and points out why the evaluation of Web 2.0 applications currently moves from web-based APIs to web services. We will present a short taxonomy of mashups as flexible, pragmatic, and robust web applications. Further, their new form of flexibility and customization will be illustrated with the help of our mistel Framework.
