Mash-ups of everything imaginable are appearing all over the internet, from blogs and real estate, to social networking and traffic news. Information is now being repurposed in ways never thought possible before. In the course of structuring our approach through the future of mashups, you can find below the questions that we thought of.

''Mashup Business Models'', from http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/mashup_business.php


'''The desire for software reuse'''
''Mashup ecosystem poised to explode'', from http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=2484
An important driver for mash-ups is the advent of Web 2.0 concepts that encourage software creators to expose their applications as sets of reusable services.  The theory is that you can be much more valuable to the rest of the world if your software can be reused in unintended ways. In other words, don't just provide a fully created end-product for one pre-intended use. Encourage others use the good pieces of what you provide in new and innovative ways.


'''Need for better business software'''
Clint Boulton, 2005, ''The Future of Free Software Lies in The Past'', from http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3508051
Regarding the enterprise mash-ups, mashups have the potential to deliver zero-footprint, Web-based business applications much faster, cheaper, more reusably, and more maintainable than ever before.  Applied correctly, all of this can confer vital competitive advantage.


'''Ad-hoc demand for services'''
''Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure'', from http://www.ffii.org/index.en.html
On the demand-side there is a rising comfort with and expectation of finding a throw-away application to do just the one thing you needed when you need it.


'''Advent of new web client capabilities - Ajax'''
''The Free Software Definition'', from http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
Last year's advent of the web application browser technique, Ajax, has augmented the posibility to mash-up different Web Services on client PCs. Ajax application loads a bunch of Javascript into the browser once and then manipulates the CSS and HTML to provide the visual effect of a full native application.  But since it loads once, the Ajax application is cut off from new data that's usually obtained by page reloading. Hence something called XmlHttpRequest, a new addition to browsers that lets Javascript programs in the browser call Web services. Consequently, Ajax appications are mandatory consumers of HTTP services including real, full blown, SOA-type Web services.


'''Interest on lightweight data protocols'''
''Philosophy of the GNU Project'', http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/
There are other driving factors to the mash-ups, like the growing interest in lightweight data formats like JSON, that helps to build online software in little bits and pieces that can be easily wired together (For example the Google Maps Javascript include)

INTRODUCTION

Mashups of everything imaginable are appearing all over the internet, from blogs and real estate, to social networking and traffic news. Information is now being repurposed in ways never thought possible before. In the course of structuring our approach through the future of mashups, you can find below the questions that we thought of.

"The Web was originally designed to be mashed up," says Google Web developer Aaron Boodman.

UNCERTAINTIES

1. Technology

2. Industry

3. Society

4. Ethics and Morals

DRIVING FORCES

Before we get to the scenarios, let's focus on the underlying reasons for the mashup phenomenon.

Technologists creating for ‘fun’

More than ever, the user experience matters

The desire for software reuse

Ad-hoc demand for services

Desire to make information more accessible

Advent of new web client capabilities

New opportunity to service customers or users

Tendency to catch up with the new industry standards

Customised needs of users

Emergence of broadband / growing online community / a new culture

Industry creating mashups to increase profit

Technology standard

SYSTEM DIAGRAM

Below is the outcome of an out-of-the-box thinking session we had about mashups. We tried to eloborate on the different forces that have effect on the mash-up system.

As a result, we mainly concluded on the existence of four predominant elements that have effect on the dynamics of the mashups: Society - Technology - Industry - Legal/Government.

High level abstract of the four major elements & Mashup system:

SCENARIOS

ScenarioTable.jpg

The group focused on three scenarios altogether, what would the outcome be if mashups were very successful, misused or continued to develope slowly as is the present situation.


Scenario 1: Mashup Mania

Scenario 2: Mashup Misuse

Scenario 3: Ever Evolving Mashups?
