"HealthMap goes beyond the standard mashup and is more like a small-scale implementation of the long-awaited semantic web. The site, which the researchers describe in the latest issue of open access PLoS Medicine, creates machine-readable public health information from the text indexed by Google News, World Health Organization updates and online listserv discussions."I highly recommend checking this mashup out! It truly does go above and beyond the existing "this + that" mashups. Particularly for developers, I think it can offer inspiration for how to move beyond the "display" to focus on the content.
