Abstract

Web Mashups, Recombinatory Data, and the Academy

With relatively little effort, individuals are recombining digital content from the Web to create sophisticated mashups. This talk will survey the world of mashups, how they are created, how people learn to make them -- and specifically the implications of recombinatory data and services for the university.

Slides

What are Mashups?

A mashup -- in the words of the Wikipedia -- is a "website or web application that seamlessly combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience."

Examples of Mashups

• HousingMaps

• Jon Udell: The LibraryLookup Project

Flickr, APIs, and Mashups

• Flickr is a great example to work with.

• There is API -- try out the Flickr API Explorer: input parameters -> get back XML. Flickr Services: Flickr API: flickr.photos.search

• Check out the many things that have been built upon the Flickr API (Flickr Services)

• fd's Flickr Toys: Fun toys for your digital photographs

• Flickr Sudoku

• oskope

• picnik

Flickr + Maps

• standard Flickr map

• example I write in my book (still a bit rough)

• can be seen as a mapplet.

• Flickr + KML on Google Maps

• Google Earth

Others

• Flickr stats (number of licensed photos accessible to the API, number of geotagged photos) in Google Spreasheet: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pYxyro01gAliOiPb4eYr9Rw
