1. Ideas and inspiration for Libraryhack RLS Project 5 – Community Created Content June 2010
2. Mashups - an exciting genre of interactive Web applications that draw upon content retrieved from external data sources to create entirely new and innovative services. They are a hallmark of the second generation of Web applications informally known as Web 2.0 . Duane Merrill
3. Library Mashups - taking library data, such as metadata from catalogues, or digital content from collections, and data from other sources and using it to create entirely new tools, services or content. Making library data freely available to anyone releases our communities of users to create, collaborate and innovate.

12. ABS In Motion consumes data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics from 1982 until 2008 for each Australian state. The data is displayed as a Motion Chart providing a multi-dimensional, over time analysis of 20 ABS data dimensions. The Motion Chart provides a powerful way to visualise data in five dimensions ABS in motion http:// www.absinmotion.org /
13. Datasets used from the Australian Bureau of Statisitics ABS In Motion data categories for visualisation include: Population, Life Expectancy, Eduction Levels, Income, Employment & Unemployment levels, CPI Inflation, Retail Turnover, GDP, Export & Imports.
14. The data used to generate the interactive treemap visualisation come from a draft of the June 2010 TOP500 Supercomputing list. This ranks most of the world's fastest supercomputers twice a year. Supercomputing in graphics http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10187248.stm
15. Collections data Re-purposing or re-presenting collections data for adding meaning, contextualisation or interpretation.
16. Flip Explorer combines an interactive online search interface, 3D tagcloud, and timeline widget, with a natural and familiar reading environment for mashups of digital knowledge collections. The user interface has been designed to present as a ‘book’, where pages displaying parts of a collection can be read and easily browsed as you would any physical book.

18. “ Typically, a large dataset has a search box as it’s main interface. I wanted to get right away from that approach and create an engaging interface. This uses a map interface to allow the user to freely explore the content.” Paul Hagon on his blog http:// www.paulhagon.com/category/mashup / DigitalNZ Location search http:// www.paulhagon.com/playground/digitalnz /
