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:<BR/><BR/>http://hardtack.osgcorp.com/osg-hardtack/<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>The posts in this blog show you guys at JackBe are on a good path. Keep it up!<BR/><BR/>Bruce Henderson<BR/>OSGBruce Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01529698634872242228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135608907297595437.post-18815811325935839082007-08-17T09:20:00.000-05:002007-08-17T09:20:00.000-05:00Hey Edwin,<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>The idea behind the blog is that consumer mashups are done in the browser and enterprise mashups are done mostly in the server.<BR/><BR/>jcJohn Crupihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15704561499062916623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135608907297595437.post-86233660669789389782007-08-16T13:57:00.000-05:002007-08-16T13:57:00.000-05:00Hey John,<BR/><BR/>How is the server mashup component you are describing different from a more traditional data virtualization layer (BEA Liquid Data, Composite Software and others).<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Edwin KhodabakchianEdwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13744784219447329954noreply@blogger.com
