Application of Web Mashup Technology to Oyster Information Services

<p>Web mashup is a lightweight technology used to integrate data from remote sources without direct access to their databases. As a data consumer, a Web mashup application creates new contents by retrieving data through the Web application programming interface (API) provided by the external sources. As a data provider, the service program publishes its Web API and implements the specified functions.</p> <p>In the project reported by this thesis, we have implemented two Web mashup applications to enhance the Web site <em>oystersentinel.org</em>: the <em>Perkinsus marinus </em>model and the Oil Spill model. Each model overlay geospatial data from a local database on top of a coastal map from Google Maps. In addition, we have designed a Web-based data publishing service. In this experimental system, we illustrated a successful Web mashup interface that allows outside developers to access the data about the local oyster stock assessment.</p>
