Modern culture thrives on mixing things together to create new flavours. It happened with music, and then with video, and now we're seeing it with online services. 'Mash-ups' are the latest buzzword in software development, and they are predicated on on mixing together Internet experiences that would previously have been consumed separately. Mash-ups are based on one of the fundamental tenets of Web 2.0 technology: that data contributed by a Web site's users should be easy for those users to consume in different forms. This philosophy drove sites such as Google, Flickr and Amazon to provide open application programming interfaces (APIs). \"Mash-ups are about letting the user do the integration and filter their data all on their own. \"Asynchronous Java and XML (AJAX) is one popular technology, enabling Web 2.0 users to manipulate online information without having to make multiple time-consuming queries to the server, as traditional HTML-based forms do.

There are needs to: sustain higher data rates; manage growing capacity; support multiple protocols in the same chassis; interoperate across a heterogeneous collection of equipment from a variety of vendors; accurately decode traffic obscured through encapsulation and and virtualisation technologies; and provide tiered storage implementations that reflect the value and priority of an organisation's data and applications.","PeriodicalId":144906,"journal":{"name":"Information Professional","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122000417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
