Features
Designed to accommodate users with varying expertise, the IBM Mashup Center allows for the straightforward creation of web applications through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface where widgets can be connected seamlessly. It offers a Mashup Builder tool for constructing mashups and provides business-oriented widgets that speed up the mashup development process while delivering advanced information visualization capabilities, including charting functionalities. The mashup environment is extendable by incorporating custom widgets from IT departments, the IBM Mashup Catalog, or a vast array of widgets available online, such as Google Gadgets.
Created mashups can be distributed with specific user or group access controls. Through visual tools, users can publish their mashups into a catalog, enabling effortless reuse by others. Version 2.0 of IBM Mashup Center introduces enhanced delivery features like a browser-based widget creation interface, improved visualization widgets, and "spaces" that facilitate collaborative construction and sharing of multi-page enterprise mashups.
