ABSTRACT
Web applications called mash-ups combine information of varying granularity from different, possibly disparate, sources. We describe Mash-o-matic, a utility that can extract, clean, and combine disparate information fragments, and automatically generate data for mash-ups and the mash-ups themselves. As an illustration, we generate a mash-up that displays a map of a university campus, and outline the potential benefits of using Mash-o-matic. Mash-o-matic exploits superimposed information (SI), which is new information and structure created in reference to fragments of existing information. Mashomatic is implemented using middleware called the Superimposed Pluggable Architecture for Contexts and Excerpts (SPARCE), and a query processor for SI and referenced information, both parts of our infrastructure to support SI management. We present a high-level description of the mash-up production process and discuss in detail how Mash-o-matic accelerates that process.
