How to build a mashup with open data from the warwickshire competition
Currently, I’m writing a proposal for an internal cluster focusing on open data and recommender systems at CELSTEC. While I was looking for interesting references on the web I stumbled over this screencast on YouTupe by ydnthater that nicely describe how to use different webservices from the digital ecosystems to create a mashup with goverment data offered by Warwickshire. ydnthater created the mashup (http://isithackday.com/demos/warwicks…) for the Warwickshire Mashup competition. The screencast shows how fast you can build a mashups using YQL and YUI and some php code. I really liked the demo, thus I added educational data mashups also as one of the objectives to the proposal.
The source code is available on GitHub: http://github.com/codepo8/warwickshire, it is a very nice example how easy it is to develop a mashup with open data when the data is available.
