Hey, just found this blog - good stuff! Your comments about using a server side engine to perform aggrigation and correlation of content headed for the mash up is dead on. Take a look at one of our examples of this pattern in action here:

The idea was that the sales side of Real Estate is tough to manage and understand from a macro level because all of the data is hidden away in MLS databases that are locally controlled (hundreds of them) and they don't all roll up into a single source. So we build components to mine the MLSs and aggregate the information so we could do statists on it.

The posts in this blog show you guys at JackBe are on a good path. Keep it up!

Hey Edwin,

Traditional data virtualization focuses more on IT-driven integrations. Or more specifically, the big stuff. Mashups is directed towards the user. It provides user-driven, ad-hoc capability to integrate disparate data from Web based sources.

The idea behind the blog is that consumer mashups are done in the browser and enterprise mashups are done mostly in the server.

Hey John,

How is the server mashup component you are describing different from a more traditional data virtualization layer (BEA Liquid Data, Composite Software and others).
