Abstract
This study addresses questions such as:
-- What are mashups, and how have they grown so rapidly in only a few years?
-- What technological, legal, and social underpinnings have enabled the rise of mashups?
-- How can the interoperability and innovation almost inherent in mashups be sustained?
Although mashups are in a phase of rapid growth and widespread innovation, problems relating to market structure and contractual relationships lurk underneath the surface; stabilizing those non-technical connections would enhance sustainability.
