Abstract
With the advent of Web 2.0, the user becomes a producer creating lots of data by consuming the functionality of the respective Web applications. Even though more and more valuable data is created, it is difficult to reuse it due to lack of structure. In this paper we discuss easing data integration by using the WebComposition Data Grid Service (WebComposition/DGS). Our approach separates technology and information space concepts in a flexible and extendable component model, which yields simplicity for the end user. The model facilitates this by creating, managing and embedding data in different formats and representations to their used applications. Furthermore, machine-readable metadata is implicitly supported and used to link the internal data and external data sources together.
