today, but it is not always in a form that supports end-users’
needs. In many cases, all of the data and services needed to
accomplish a goal already exist, but are not in a form
amenable to an end-user. To address this problem, we have
developed an end-user programming tool called Marmite,
which lets end-users create so-called mashups that repurpose
and combine existing web content and services. In
this paper, we present the design, implementation, and
evaluation of Marmite. An informal user study found that
programmers and some spreadsheet users had little
difficulty using the system.
