Web mashups

Thursday, May 29th, 2008 | raymond yee

If there is interest, I’d like to have a session on web mashups:  what they are, how you can make them, and specifically, how they can be applicable to the humanities.  For instance, one specific application I’ve been focused on recently is that to integrating such tools as Flickr and other applications into the classroom for the teaching of art history.  Another application is how to turn Zotero into a mashup platform.

    I’m interested in learning more about this. I’ve spent a good part of the last year learning to use digital tools and resources via the digital campus podcasts — but I’m interested to see how these applications are brought together in mashups for teaching and learning.

    I’d be very interested in the idea of turning zotero into a mashup platform. I’ve been tossing around a similar idea with a few faculty members for awhile. Of course zotero 2.0 will give us the ability to create collaborative bibliographies, but it seems to me that once that door has been opened there will be all kinds of new projects and scholarship that will become possible.

    I’m interested in mashups, and can demonstrate a few that I’ve been working on tangentially to Pleiades, but also interested in the bigger picture: mashups and linked data and lowercase s semantic web applications. Could this session be expanded to cover data discovery and serendipitous reuse in general?

    I, too am interested in mashups. Another topic I’d like to discuss (while on the mashup train) is how to make digital projects more mashupable. Are there ways to encourage others to reuse data from digital project or online exhibits? Are we making it easy for users to get at the data so they can play with it?

    Count me in — I’m very interested in this too and in learning how to make them, especially how it relates to repurposing & reusing digital objects and data.

    Me too.
