Government Mashups!

In this three-part demo, we will show how disparate information sources can be assembling together into new applications (called mashups) that deliver new insights and value to citizens.

In the first part of this demo, I will start by walking few a couple of examples of mashups that would be interesting to citizens. Next, I will also show how both governments and citizens could take advantage of Mashup tooling like IBM Mashup Center to create and catalog information feeds for use by citizens or by other government agencies.

In part 2 of the demo (located here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld8oqBoVPLk ), we will show how these feeds can then be assembled into useful new mashups by leveraging IBM Mashup Centers easy-to-use code-free Mashup Builder tool. We will also show how the new mashup page can be embedded into any website- like a blog, and how the feeds can be consumed by other clients, like Lotus Notes.

In part 3 of this demo (located here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhOWAkDE5xo ), we will show how to create a custom widget using our Portlet Factory / Widget Factory tooling. (less info)
