Mashups
a mashup is a
web application
that combines
data from more
than one source
into a single
integrated tool

Mashups and SharePoint
Data View Web Part
• Formats data from any data source for display in
SharePoint
• Lists on other SharePoint Sites, RSS Feeds, Web
Services or even your own Database Servers
Business Data Catalog
• Allows for single sign-on access to data sources
• More configuration required, but with that comes
added flexibility
Excel Services and Reporting Services

2 Keys to Designer Mashups
1. A web service
• RSS Feeds – estimated at least 1.2 million in 2005
• API – Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Ebay all
provide Web Service APIs
2. The Data View Web Part
• XSLT Processor
• “Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations
(XSLT) is an XML-based language used for the
transformation of XML documents into other XML or
"human-readable" documents.” – Wikipedia.org
