True, but the data differs in content as well as conceptual structure. I'm not overly familiar with the BBC Web API but there also seems to be more metadata in Pips. Pips is episode centric. You can ask for a schedule, but that's not where it's strengths lie. It's not a linear broadcast view of the world, it's about brands, series, episodes, versions, broadcasts and ondemands with the links between all of these. It's also the metadata store for iPlayer, so those oh so important unique identifiers are the same as they are in iPlayer, which would be very useful for tying iPlayer into mashups, widgets, etc. Cheers Jonathan - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
