Web APIs Selection for Mashup Interoperability.
Devis Bianchini, Valeria De Antonellis, Michele Melchiori · 2011
Abstract. Mashup is new development style adopted in enterprises for imple-menting non-mission-critical Web applications, which are created to satisfy a business need and that often are used only for short periods of time, while the need exists. However, the development of mashup requires retrieving, under-standing and composing heterogeneous software components often made avail-able as Web APIs. Mashup interoperability[1] is defined as the set of condi-tions, including technological and organizational ones, to permit des-ingners/developers to create mashups. In this paper, we propose Web API selec-tion patterns as a contribution to enable mashup interoperability. 1
