Title: Information Quality in Mashups
Reference: Internet Computing, Volume 14, Number 4, July/August 2010, IEEE Press, Pages 14-22.
Abstract: Modern Web 2.0 applications are characterized by a high user involvement: users are supported in the creation of content and annotations, but also in the "composition" of applications starting from content and functions that are provided by third parties. This last phenomenon is known as web mashups and is gaining popularity even with users having little programming skills, raising a set of peculiar information quality issues. Assessing the quality of a mashup, especially of the information it provides to its users, requires understanding how the mashup has been developed, how its components look like, and how quality propagates from basic components to the final mashup application – three aspects we investigate in this article.
