Here’s the quote from wikipedia:

A mashup, in web development, is a web page, or web application, that uses content from more than one source to create a single new service displayed in a single graphical interface. For example, you could combine the addresses and photographs of your library branches with a Google map to create a map mashup.^[1] The term implies easy, fast integration, frequently using open application programming interfaces(API) and data sources to produce enriched results that were not necessarily the original reason for producing the raw source data. The term mashup originally comes from pop music, where people seamlessly combine music from one song with the vocal track from another—thereby mashing them together to create something new.

The main characteristics of a mashup are combination, visualization, and aggregation. It is important to make existing data more useful, for personal and professional use. To be able to permanently access the data of other services, mashups are generally client applications or hosted online.

We will be conceptualizing a new mashup based on existing data sources.
