Gave Trynt a try - not impressed. Only one search was successful and
that returned no data :(
IMDB support tools that download a local copy of their database, keep it
updated and some decent search utilities. Its pretty old (goes back to
the days when Usenet was the primary distribution
On to my questions:
Has anyone yet been able to create an API around the BBC Programme
Catalogue? It seems this would be the best data source to use so far.
the BBC Programme Catalogue is already one big restful API... which
may be enough for your needs, depending...
replace 'infax' in with

Hi -
I was having a quick look at the Programme Catalogue (amazing what the OU has put out over the years - http://blogs.open.ac.uk/Maths/ajh59/006117.html) and a couple of things came to mind:
- is there an API/any way of making a query to the catalogue that will return an XML response?

Yes there are API's - loads of them! If you perform your search you
should see Feeds for every page returned.
yes...
For example http://open.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/infax/contributor/4362(Tony
Blair) returns FOAF data
(http://open.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/xml/contributor/4362) and an Atom
+ 'Bad Wolf' is not a subject category
Meanwhile, in other news, the gap between the first and
second editions of 'Grandstand' is apparently 28 years,
which must be some kind of a record (assuming it's not duff data).

That is awesome - the detail in the news headlines and stuff like the money programme and countryfile is fantastic - please can you add it in to backstage - it's a brilliant - just keep the tagging and indexing in-house, don't open it up and let the rest of the World contaminate it - it's pretty

Jings, that's a lot of details. Is this still implemented using Ruby-on-Rails?
Minor bug: the 'Catalogue Mashups' link on the bottom of each page is broken:
