Discover & Unlock: MashupHub
Core to Info 2.0 is InfoSphere MashupHub, a new-style web 2.0 catalog that links to Enterprise and external information sources and converts them to RSS, Atom and XML feeds. InfoSphere MashupHub has a master catalog for these sources, and provides Web 2.0-style tagging, user ratings and other community elements common in social computing environments as well as security, metering, monitoring and governance.
Transform & Mix: MashupHub
Many of the information sources initially stored in InfoSphere MashupHub will be altered before being used in an Info 2.0 Mashup. This is done by “DAMIA”, IBM technology which allows information sources to be further merged, filtered, transformed, annotated or published in new formats, before being saved back into Mash-up Hub.
For many customers this is the most significant and powerful aspect of InfoSphere MashupHub because it enables content remixing before the mash-up is created – simplifying and focusing the eventual mash-up user interface.
Assemble & Mix: Lotus Mashups
Once assets have been accessed and prepared, they can be assembled in the third step into a mashup with Lotus Mashups. Users combine and remix assets located in MashupHub – linking them together in powerful ways to exploit new business opportunities. For example, many companies have databases that they want to make mashable in order to efficiently share data with their business partners. In addition to Lotus Mashups, this information can be consumed by portals, other mashup applications, web applications, or even desktop applications like Excel.
