These mashups follow the web 2.0 standards
A mashup is a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool. The term Mashup implies easy, fast integration, frequently done by access to open API's and data sources to produce results data owners had no idea could be produced. An example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data, thereby creating a new and distinct web service that was not originally provided by either source.
There are many types of mashups, such as consumer mashups, data mashups, and Business Mashups. The distinction is meaningless because the underlying technology is the same regardless of the use case.
The most common mashup is the consumer mashup, which are aimed at the general public. Examples include Google Maps applications, iGuide and Radioclouds.
Architecturally, there are two styles of mashups: Web and Server. Web-based mashups are typically done in the Browser, and only need a Web container. Server-based mashups are done on the server either in the datacenter or in the Cloud.
Another common mashup is a data mashup. Data mashups combine similar types of media and information from multiple sources into a single graphical representation. An example is the Havaria Information Services' AlertMap, which combines data from over 200 sources related to severe weather conditions, biohazard threats, and seismic information, and displays them on a map of the world. Yahoo Pipes can be used to define data mashups.
Business mashups focus aggregate into a single presentation, and allow for collaborative action among businesses and developers.
