This is QEDWiki, a browser based platform for developing mash-ups.

This particular demo shows how a shipping company could combine various applications to create a new mash-up.

By taking information from various databases, QEDWiki allows the freight company create a mash-up to locate ships, see what the weather is like in the vicinity of the different vessels and monitor pirate activity in the region.

The vessel shown is travelling just off the coast off Washington state in the US.

    We're hitting the afterburners on some pretty good IBM Spitfires, to go up against the Microsoft Messerschmitts that have darkened the skies for so many years recently, though.

    OS/2 ? Who needs it. We've got Linux.
