Mashup最初用来描述将音乐曲目混合在一起以创建新的音乐作品。该术语现在指的是将来自不同来源的数据编织成新数据源或服务的网站或服务。本文使用一个建立在“mashup”一词起源基础上的音乐隐喻，展示了一个由四个地理mashup小插曲组成的演示“播放列表”，这些小插曲使用了一系列Web2.0、语义Web和3-D Internet方法，其输出/最终用户界面跨越了平面Web（二维2-D地图）、三维3-D镜像世界（Google Earth）和3-D虚拟世界（Second Life ®）。在这个“播放列表”中的四首地理混搭“歌曲”是：“用于传染病监测的Web 2.0和GIS（地理信息系统）”、“用于分子流行病学的Web 2.0和GIS”、“用于GIS混搭的语义Web”和“来自Yahoo！连接到3D虚拟现实的地理混搭我们希望，这个例子和想法的展示，以及我们为今天免费提供的许多在线工具提供的指针，这些工具用于创建，共享和重用地理混搭，只需很少的代码或无需代码，最终将激发许多公共卫生从业者的想象力，并激励他们开始探索在日常实践中使用这些方法和工具。本文还讨论了今天的Web是如何迅速演变成一个更强烈的沉浸式，混合现实和无处不在的社会体验Metaverse，是通过各种用户创建的混搭高度互连。
'Mashup' was originally used to describe the mixing together of musical tracks to create a new piece of music. The term now refers to Web sites or services that weave data from different sources into a new data source or service. Using a musical metaphor that builds on the origin of the word 'mashup', this paper presents a demonstration "playlist" of four geo-mashup vignettes that make use of a range of Web 2.0, Semantic Web, and 3-D Internet methods, with outputs/end-user interfaces spanning the flat Web (two-dimensional – 2-D maps), a three-dimensional – 3-D mirror world (Google Earth) and a 3-D virtual world (Second Life ®). The four geo-mashup "songs" in this "playlist" are: 'Web 2.0 and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) for infectious disease surveillance', 'Web 2.0 and GIS for molecular epidemiology', 'Semantic Web for GIS mashup', and 'From Yahoo! Pipes to 3-D, avatar-inhabited geo-mashups'. It is hoped that this showcase of examples and ideas, and the pointers we are providing to the many online tools that are freely available today for creating, sharing and reusing geo-mashups with minimal or no coding, will ultimately spark the imagination of many public health practitioners and stimulate them to start exploring the use of these methods and tools in their day-to-day practice. The paper also discusses how today's Web is rapidly evolving into a much more intensely immersive, mixed-reality and ubiquitous socio-experiential Metaverse that is heavily interconnected through various kinds of user-created mashups.
