Abstract
The term “mashup” is widely used today. There are people developing “mobile mashups,” others doing research on “Web mashups,” and others again selling tools for “data mashups.” Yet, when it comes to a concrete discussion of the topic, it is not uncommon to discover at some point that the involved parties in the discussion actually have very different interpretations of what mashups are and what they are not. Typical discussion points are whether a mashup must have a user interface (UI) or not to be called a “mashup,” whether it must be built by using Web-accessible resources only or not, whether it must be developed with client-side technologies (e.g., JavaScript) only, and the like. That is, even after several years since the term has being around and used, there is still no common agreement on its actual meaning.
