Cognos Mashup Service
The Cognos Mashup Service is a web service that ships along with Cognos SDK (Software Development Kit) for version 8.4.1 onwards. While Cognos SDK supports report authoring through programming, the Mashup Service is purely meant to run the reports, access the report output, and expose the contents to other business applications in UI and workflow.
Partner Services talk to Cognos Mashup Service (CMS) using REST or SOAP request. The contents are accessed in XML, LDX, HTML, or JSON format. You can find more information about this on the IBM developerWorks Library.
Some popular usages of CMS are embedding Cognos Report contents into Google Maps, Google Earth, Adobe Air, and so on. For example: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/page486.html ...
