    2. What is a mashup?
      • A digital mashup is a digital media file containing any or all of text, graphics, audio, video and animation drawn from pre-existing sources, to create a new derivative work
      • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_(digital)
      • Achieved using RSS, APIs (Application Programming Interface), widgets, gadgets, ‘stuff’
      • Purists say if you use “glue stick’” it is not a mashup, e.g. simply adding a Flickr ‘widget’ to your blog or using a start page
      • If you use “glue logic” it is a mashup e.g. Yahoo Pipes to combine feeds and sources, filter, process/transform
        • see Mashed Libraries - What is a Mashup + DEMO

    5. Issues affecting mashups
      • A mashup is only as good as:

          • how accurate is the data?
        • the programming and processes involved in the mashup
          • e.g. are towns and cities being put in the right country
      • Copyright issues
        • legal and free data may be quite old e.g. post code database
        • check T&Cs and licenses before you use data in your mashup
