Description In current Web 2.0 developments the word "mashups" stands for a totally new way of flexible application bringing together several Web 2.0 services. Mashups form a serious new trend in web development by con- textualizing existing services and bringing customizable applications to the user. Out of this, a new style of web-based applications arises. To get a better understanding of the phenomena of mashups, this paper observes and interprets the way the development of web based applications and appropriate background sys- tems changed. It presents several state of the art Web 2.0 technologies and points out why the evaluation of Web 2.0 applications currently moves from web-based APIs to web services. We will present a short taxon- omy of mashups as flexible, pragmatic, and robust web applications. Further, their new form of flexibility and customization will be illustrated with the help of our mistel Framework.
