Mashups are not just for the remnants of your Christmas or Sunday dinner! A mashup is also a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool, and you may be surprised at how commonplace they have become. Blogs, Yahoo Finance, Facebook, Geograph, and the latest UK police forcesÂ’ crime statistics all use mashups. Karen Blakeman will look at examples from a variety of sectors and subject areas and show how easy it is to create your own. The issues of quality and ownership of data will also be addressed. BBOD meetings are free and open to all with a professional interest in the topic. /Refreshments provided afterwards./ *Time:* 18.00 for 18.30 *Venue:* Great Expectations, 33 London Street, Reading, Berkshire RG1 4PS <http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=471801&y=173139&z=0&ar=Y> www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=471801&y=173139&z=0&ar=Y <http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=471801&y=173139&z=0&ar=Y> Please advise *Norman Briggs, BBOD Events Co-Ordinator* Tel: 0118 987 1115 or [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> or *Chrissy Allott, BBOD Chair* [log in to unmask] <http:[log in to unmask]> if you plan to attend.
