It's a bit like a data smoothey. You might have one data source that is bananas and another data source that is strawberries. You bring the two together (with the help of a blender and some ice) into something that is different (and perhaps more palatable) than the sum of its parts.

An enterprise mashup is like Lego blocks for business. You can think of your data as a Lego block. You can use all different data block shapes and colors to form a mashup and then use that mashup to create other mashups.

An enterprise mashup is a real-time application that can be built by users or developers using data pulled from public or internal sources that creates new insights and understanding as a result of combining previously unconnected information in new ways.
The Enterprise Mashup Platform enables Just-in-Time development of solutions that reflect the real world reality that we need to use information from a wide variety of source applications in ways that were never dreamt of when the applications were originally designed and implemented.
The Enterprise Mashup platform differs from Consumer Mashup Services in recognizing and working within the security and audit requirements of an organization while enabling public and internal data to be brought together to create valuable and actionable information.

Best Answer for the Consumer in this Contest. It's like ending up with a bowl of mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving with a lot of lumps from the programs that have been brought together. The interface is the butter that allows you to smooth it all out and have a richer experience.

Definition 6 describes a mash-up perfectly and then serves to differentiate it from a consumer mash-up. the language used is understandable by a business person. While I like the Lego analogy, where it falls short is that it seems to think the mash-up will only have a short-term value.
