IBM Mash up Tool Focused on ENTERPRISE CONTENT

摘要

In the latest sign that mashup tools are gaining prominence within enterprises, IBM Corp. has unveiled new software that lets both non-technical users and developers tie data to Web 2.0-type applications. The company last month released a beta version of its IBM Mashup Center, a Web-based tool that lets any worker drag and drop content from public or internal Web sites into composite or mashup type applications. Mashup Center combines two existing tools-Lotus Mashups and the IBM InfoSphere MashHub. Big Blue also launched WebSphere sMash, a toolkit for developers that allows them to extend their service-oriented architectures so that they can be used to build widgets via IBM's new tool for end users. According to IB M, WebSphere sMash offers an agile development platform that supports dynamic scripting languages and allows quick aggregation of various content feeds.
