Information Mashups: Aggregation, Syndication, and Web Services
By Nick Diakopoulos | January 15, 2008
Remix it, mash it, break it down and build it up; snippets of information are scattered across the net just waiting to be brought together in novel combinations which present information in enlightening interfaces, allow newsworthy patterns to be uncovered, or just plain show a story that couldn’t otherwise be told. With the new found power of web services and APIs comes responsibility. For journalists, their responsibility is to apply computational manipulation of data faithfully, and in ways that improve people’s lives. In our Information Mashups: Aggregation, Syndication, and Web Services panel we’ll get at the heart of the technology underlying information mashups by talking to experts who have gathered the data sources and developed the APIs and applications which are defining remix information interfaces. Our panelists and moderator:
- John Brothers, CTO of the Sunlight Foundation
- John Geraci, Co-Creator of outside.in
- Nate Nichols, Creator of NewsAtSeven
- Moderator, Carl DiSalvo, Assistant Professor, School of Language, Literature, and Communication, Georgia Tech
