Mashups that combine already existing data into an integrated experience are becoming increasingly popular. So far most mashups have been built around maps and images. However, as the web is becoming an increasingly ubiquitous media, also multimedia content -sound, video and even small programs -is emerging as a candidate for mashup creation, with potentially superior user experience. Currently available methods to implement mashups do not allow effortless access to personal data across domains or provide means to ensure that the user experience is coherent. This paper describes our mobile mashup ecosystem aimed to solve these problems and work as a ubiquitous platform for mobile multimedia mashups. Furthermore, we provide a brief literature review about existing mashup frameworks and end-user programming. In addition, to constitute a basis for future work, we discuss about challenges expected to emerge when the ecosystem is implemented. Mashup ecosystem, multimedia,mobile environment
Accessing private and public multimedia content over the web with mobile terminals can be cumbersome. To approach this problem, we introduce an ecosystem where the content is accessed with clients that are constructed as mashups. Mashups are web applications that combine already existing data into an integrated experience. In addition to traditional mashup elements such as text and images, also other types of multimedia artifacts -sound, video and even small programs -can be used as content in mashups. However, currently available methods implementing mashups do not allow effortless access to personal data across domains or provide means to ensure that the user experience is coherent. This paper describes our mobile mashup architecture aimed to solve these problems and work as a ubiquitous platform for mobile multimedia mashups. The architecture enables a mashup ecosystem where different content providers and client developers can contribute. As a practical implementation, we present a video mashup client developed for Android. In addition, we discuss the lessons learned during the research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
