Building unique datasets and products with synthetic APIs

Mike Ogrinz is the author of Mashup Patterns (Addison Wesley 2009) and Architecture SVP at some big Fortune 500 company. In this presentation Mike will discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by an application and data infrastructure that has grown both organically and by acquisition. In other words, how can you put together a jigsaw puzzle when the parts are all from different sets? Mike will also preview a new developer resource that he is launching that relies on the topics presented to mine the web and build a unique dataset.
