description: With the proliferation of data APIs, it is not uncommon that  users who have no clear ideas about data APIs will encounter  difficulties to build Mashups to satisfy their requirements. In this  paper, we present a semantic-based mashup navigation system,  sMash that makes mashup building easy by constructing and  visualizing a real-life data API network. We build a sample  network by gathering more than 300 popular APIs and find that  the relationships between them are so complex that our system  will play an important role in navigating users and give them  inspiration to build interesting mashups easily. The system is  accessible at: http://www.dart.zju.edu.cn/mashup.
