Quite. I seem to remember Mr Crossland arguing vehemently when the
iPlayer beta came out that the BBC shouldn't be spending money on it
because it didn't benefit all users.
Pot, kettle, etc.

oh, but you mention SPARQL queries, so doesn't that mean that we'd need full
resource/RDF/URIs approach at least internally at the Beeb? or at least the
capability and internal structure and data model in place internally to publish
our data out to the world at a SPARQL end-point?

Not used my USB Freeview receiver for a while, hooked it up because I dug
out an amplified aerial and thought 'heck, why not.' In essense, audio seems

BBC Vision edit log data would be good. Lots of useful meta-data there.
As for getting the meaning out there. GUIDs might be less important than
being able to perform semantic queries on whatever naming conventions exist
already around the Beeb.

so how do/should we expose GUIDs to the outside world, in a sorta "Web" kind of

to "broadcast" their, um, "meaning" to the world at large...
in other words, seems like you need the ID, some metad
I hope the BBC does not spend licence fee money on the development of
Gnash. This money should be spent to benefit the majority of the
license payers, not just a very small group.
I'm sure once Gnash has got the capability to run the flash used on the
BBC website they will happily support it.
Hi,
It seems Gnash is attracting a lot of funding and direct support these days...
When will the BBC support access to the Flash-based parts of its
websites with free software by helping the Gnash project?

I¹ve a lot of recent experience with 16-byte UUIDs for identifying content
(RFC 4122) and the slightly more media-savy 32-byte Unique Material
Identification (UMID) from SMPTE (SMPTE 330M). Both standards are the basis
for the Advanced Authoring Format, an industry standard used by video

How about a full iPlayer API so we can actually create programs that
use that data?
Screen scraping is hugely inefficient, to
anyone got any thoughts or experiences with the "UUID system for uniquely
identifying objects" mentioned below? in our collective opinion and experience,
is there anything like that, or close to that, in existence yet?
does MusicBrainz qualify in terms of Music object identification and IDs?
