Abstract

Mashups represent – beside the ease-of-use, high interactivity and social networking factors – another significant phenomenon of Web 2.0. However, this "mashing process" is mostly based upon ad-hoc approaches and techniques, rather than upon an in-depth analysis of the "mashing potential" of the services. Therefore, the first goal of this paper is to provide a conceptual foundation for the mashups – to identify services being typically integrated into mashups, and propose classification criteria forming a "Mash-Tree" that were subsequently applied to selected services – representatives of each classification category. We concentrate mainly on mashing of Web 2.0 services; integration in an enterprise environment is behind the scope of this paper. Secondly, the mashing potential is studied from three perspectives – technical aspects of mashability, business models for mashups, and potential legal issues concerning services themselves as well as the data in them. We hope that the proposed mashup conceptualization together with our analysis of mashability can help to develop future Web 2.0 mashups that not only better meet stakeholders' expectations but also respect legal terms and are technologically sound.
