In this week, we talk about web2.0, one of the main typs of web2.0 is mashup, which I am interest in personaly. Generally speak, mushup is a new typ of web application, mainly used by geographic maps, for examples, Google Maps API, Microspft (Virtal Earth), Yahoo (Yahoo Maps) and AOL(Map Quest). Basicly, we could consider its process is collectinf data and information from different source, and then, mix them, reform them, build up a new platform to share, to communicate, or, yes, it is a hybrid. Here is a classical example of the application of mashup, http://www.chicagocrime.org/map/ , A freely browsable database of crimes reported in Chicago. We can browse by: Crime type • Street • Date • Police district • ZIP code • Ward • Location • Route • City map. And we could find the rate of different typ crime happened in where, when, and other information just by simply moving the mouse on the digital map.
