This chapter charts the history of Internet-Based Neighbourhood Information System (IBNIS) of various sorts, but with with a particular emphasis on the recent emergence of mapping mash-ups. The notion of a mash-up has been appropriated from pop music, where a DJ takes a vocal track from one song and combines it with the instrumental track of another in order to produce a sound that emerges from both both sources. Within the context of the web a mash-up is an application that combines content from more than one source into an integrated presentation. The most common form of mash-up is one that combines a mapping interface with spatially referencend data. Perhaps the best example of this is the manner in which the Google Maps application programming interface (API) enables anyone to combine Google Maps software with publicly available databases to create their own mapping mash-ups (see http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/for a wide range of examples). We will examine a range of different mapping mash-ups from commercial, policy and academic sources as an empirical basis for a discussion of the implications of the technology for a range of social research issues. However, our main concern will be to consider the future trajectory of mapping mash-ups within the context of what we might view as the emergence of a new culture of public social research.
