Abstract:
Mashup is one of the many new phenomena in the Web 2.0 environment. They are largely
experimental, but some of them are very useful, well-designed and very popular. Google
Maps is the most popular component of Mashups. Amazon, Yahoo! Maps, and photo-sharing
site Flickr are also a source for many of the sites. The libraries have been well adapting to
the emerging technologies to integrate contents and services in order to provide innovative
services to the users. The paper defines Mashup and discusses its various aspects with
specific reference to the libraries.

Abstract:
The Web evolves rapidly. Day by day & WWW is currently experiencing a revolutionary growth due
to its increasing participative community software applications. This paper highlights an emerging
application development paradigm on the WWW, called mashup. Which uses latest generation of
WWW tools and services enable web users to generate web applications that combine content from
multiple sources, and provide them as unique services by adding values that suit their situational
needs. This type of web applications is referred to as a Mashup. As blogs have enabled anyone to
become a publisher, mashups stimulate web development by allowing anyone to combine existing
data to develop single interactive web application. Current applications of mashups include tracking
of events such as crime, hurricanes, earthquakes, meta-search integration of data and media feeds,
interactive games, and as an organizer for web resources in a single interface. The implications of
this emerging web integration and structuring paradigm remains yet to be explored fully. This paper
describes mashups from a number of angles, highlighting current developments while providing
sufficient illustrations to indicate its potential implications and their whole status in programmable
Web.The role of Mashups on the web are presented, and existing & open emerging tools that assist in
Mashup development are introduced.
