Why Social Computing?
Explosion in Web usage and content, fueled by global use, mobile device access, and the participation Web: user-generated content, cooperation and innovationThe Web as the desktop (your desktop!)
New concepts, methods, and technology needed to leverage the Web as a combined compute platform, business platform, and collaboration platform

Mashups
…are Web applications composing a variety of Web sources via Web APIs, services and feeds (RSS, Atom)
Content provider, mashup site, client Web browserFor situational purpose, fast and good enough
Consumer mashups vs. enterprise mashups
Creation is mostly end-user oriented (often graphical)Typically data-driven, aggregating data streams
Yahoo Pipes, Microsoft Popfly, IBM Mashup Center, SAP Research Rooftop
Sometimes process-driven using lightweight workflowsIBM Research Bite, Serena Mashup Suite

Yahoo! Pipes
… provides a graphical user interface for building applications that aggregate web feeds, web pages, and other services, creating data mashups from various sources, and publishing themThe site works by letting users "pipe" information from different sources and then set up rules for how that content should be modified (e.g. filtering, cf. the New York Times through Flickrexample)

IBM Sharable Code
An Online Platform for Situational Web Applications and MashupsDevelopment and Management
Started out as a research project at IBM ResearchNow an IBM alphaworks services offering:http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/isc/

Motivation
Mashups are ad hocDifficult to reuse and to shareDifficult to discover, to find, and to manage
(Too) Many service models and types, e.g., SOAP/WSDL, REST, APP, Atom, RSS, ...JavaScript UI-based mashups lead to nightmarish code maintenance and security issuesLack of unified models and design for mashups
Tai/Maximilien, IST 2008

A uniform platform for developing, sharing, and managing Web 2.0 applications and mashups
Common service models and mashup designDomain-specific languages (DSL) – abstraction
data, APIs, services, and mashuptagging, commenting, digging, searching
Web-based tooling

Philosophy
Platform as a set of smaller partsWeb applications (tools)Web APIs (services)Reusable components (plugins and gems)
Interactions between components via APIsThe platform is itself mashable
Web Computing is social, ergo sharable models, sharable components, and sharable designs are key to easier and more productive Web tools
Tai/Maximilien, IST 2008
![Page 21: Leveraging the Social Web for Situational Application ... · Typically data-driven, aggregating data streams Yahoo Pipes, Microsoft Popfly, IBM Mashup Center, SAP Research Rooftop](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041417/5e1c0c823562ca696f3b8bd9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
The platform itself is mashable and designed as a modern RESTful SOA
Builder application (mashup creator)Enables “easy” design and creation of mashupsAgile and social development of mashups parts
Community applicationAdvertisement and community of deployed mashupsDiscussions, usages, tagging, searching, and ratings
Manager applicationOne-click deployment of mashups to different servers or cloudsManagement of deployments, e.g., clone, delete, version, ...

A Domain-specific language (DSL) for mashups
“mini” language built on top of a hosting language that provides a common syntax and semanticsHigh-level, mostly declarative, design and programming particular to mashup concepts and behaviorsEnables easier sharing of partsFacilitates the creation of code and tools

DSL brief overview
Mashups’ designs as recipes (like cooking recipes)Web APIs, services, data, views, ... are ingredientsMashups are unique combinations of Web “ingredients”
ConstructsRepresent all basic concepts for creating mashupsdata, api, service, mashup, connection to user (wiring), connection between services (step), data transformations (mediator), and user interfaces (views)

DSL details
recipe – Top level construct; aggregates all othersdata – Describes the schema (data elements) of service’s dataapi – Describes the service’s API interfaceservice – Binds to the actual endpoint, service type, and any special considerations (e.g., caching, headers, ...)mashup – One or more services that comprise a collection of wiring and mediation declarationsmediation – Facilitates data transformationwiring – Captures one point of interaction with userstep – one atomic step in wiring; interaction between servicesview – Captures the view template code for a wiringcss – Captures view styling via cascading stylesheetstag, tags, desc – Captures metadata and English text
