Hi, I've put together a blog post that describes the contents of the Talis store. We've been working really hard to try and get good coverage of the BBC data and in poking around have learnt a thing or two about the structure of the data that I thought it would be useful to share. The post is here:
http://blogs.talis.com/n2/archives/569 We'll be doing some more updates on how to use the Talis Platform to work with the data over the coming weeks. So subscribe to the RSS feed if you want to stay on top of those. I'll post some further updates here too. If you're not familiar with SPARQL, then not only are there some great tutorial available, but you can also explore the rest of the Platform API (http://n2.talis.com/wiki/Platform_API) which provides some other ways to work with the data in a range of different formats.
