Thanks to everyone who answered, some really interesting thoughts for DMI and other advanced prototypes. I'm presenting your ideas on Friday, so this is what I have across two slides

In-programme timing of generic objects or people
Access to the Edit logs of programme makers
Access to the scripts with timings
TV schedules as a API with past and future ability
Direct links to iplayer programmes
XML of upcoming iplayer programmes
XML of programmes about to drop off iplayer (see Matthews prototype next slide)
Links between programmes and their programme catalogue entry
The Programme Catalogue and synced with DBpedia
A reference page or service for all programmes (/programmes in XML)
Small image/icon per programme with the rights cleared
XML or pub/sub messages for upcoming and favourite programmes
Ability to link BBC identity with favourite programmes
Keywords, Tags and Search across them and other data
Access to Subtitle data in XML
Videos in alternative formats Wmv, Theora, Dirac, etc

I'm going to spend at least 25% of my presentation on these points alone. Who knows maybe they will sink in and we might get some traction in certain areas.

Cheers,

Ian

Hi All,

I was hoping to get a brainstorm of ideas for APIs and Feeds you would love to 
play with in the near future, while focusing on Vision/TV

I got most of the obvious stuff like,

- A 31 day schedule in XML
- TV schedules as a API with past and future ability
- Direct links to iplayer programmes
- XML/RSS/ATOM/JSON of upcoming iplayer programmes
- XML/RSS/ATOM/JSON of programmes about to drop off iplayer
- Links between programmes and their programme catalogue entry
- The Programme Catalogue! :)
- A reference page or service for all programmes (/programmes in XML)
- XMPP pub/sub messages for upcoming programmes
- keywords
Anything more?

Ian Forrester
