What is a Feed?

Many products today (IBM®Lotus® Domino®, IBM Lotus® Connections, IBM Lotus Quickr™, IBM Cognos, IBM WebSphere Portal, IBM Mashup Center, IBM WebSphere MQ, IBM WebSphere Business Process Management, Google Docs, etc.) are exposing their functionality and information as RESTful feeds (JSON, XML, Atom, RSS, HTML)

What is a Widget?

Widgets are often the visualization or user interface on top of a feed

Widgets Have Permeated the Consumer Web…

Why Has The Consumer Web Adopted Widgets?● Widgets are lightweight and easy to build with a variety of existing

technical skill sets● Widgets allow end users to create new personalized experiences

(desktop, portals, blogs, applications) without coding ● Widgets support lightweight integration across products and services

▬ Without having to know anything about the disparate systems APIs▬ Without having to write any system-specific code ▬ And without even having to know who owns the service or widget

● Widgets allow organizations to share or syndicate information or applications in a very low cost manner to consumers, increasing brand awareness and customer loyalty

These benefits apply to enterprises as well!

What is a Mashup?A “mashup” is a lightweight web application created by combining information or capabilities from more than one existing source to deliver new functions & insights.

● Rapid creation (days not months)

● Reuses existing capabilities, but delivers new functions + insights

● Requires less technical skills – widgets and feeds are the building blocks for mashups

● Often mixes internal and external sources

Skills & Cost Gap

One benefit of mashups is to support the long tail of application development – i.e., being able to cost-effectively create very targeted, personalized applications

By taking a “building block” approach to application development, organizations can realize the following benefits:

● Agility and flexibility to quickly assembly new apps to meet new requirements or situations

● Rapid application delivery thru a virtuous cycle of reuse

● Improved insights from assembling disparate information into one view

● Better align IT and business through rapid prototyping

● Self-service app development, helping to lower IT backlog

● Innovation through community contribution● Save time and money by leveraging the

thousands of 3rd Party Services and Widgets

● Q&A

Introduction to iWidgets ● iWidget – common IBM widget specification● The Widget container and client-side framework is developed in Lotus and embedded

across numerous products in every software brand in IBM● Benefits of iWidgets and mashup-enabling the Lotus and IBM portfolio:

▬ Customers can customize IBM's mashup and widget-enabled products much faster and without requiring coding!

▬ Tighter integration of IBM widget-enabled products –> helping customers to bring all of their software investments together

● What does an iWidget look like? Simple Hello World Example:<iw:iwidget id="helloWorld" xmlns:iw=“http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/iWidget” supportedModes="view edit" mode="view" lang="en”> <iw:content mode="view">

<![CDATA[<div>Hello World</div>]]>
