Subject: bbc data released

Hi all

As promised we've just released data for John Peel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Peel) and Top of the Pops (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_of_the_pops) under creative commons. Also a demo app of 'clickable tracklists' with nowplaying api. Both the Tracklist and TOTP sites have been impregnated with MusicBrainz IDs.

Peel here:
http://bbc-hackday.dyndns.org:2820/

TOTP here:
http://bbc-hackday.dyndns.org:2821/

Tracklist demo here:
http://bbc-hackday.dyndns.org:2822/

= Coming soon =
- Later (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Later..._with_Jools_Holland) data (hopefully)

- Proms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proms) data (definitely)

hack day  :-)

That is indeed very good news :)

Looking forward to MusicBrainz IDs returning to the last.fm website  
(and the BBCs!).

interestingly (or not) one of the next items on the /music backlog is to make artists and albums addressable using brainz ids. There's not much there (about 2000 artists / 6000 album reviews) but it's growing fairly rapidly and it'll be one more node on the web of data (copyright Tom Coates <cite>http://www.plasticbag.org/archives/2006/02/my_future_of_web_apps_slides/</cite>)

not sure how i managed to persuade editorial people that this was a better use of time than pulling in more bloody flickr bloody photos but they seem convinced

;)

Hi Micheal,

This is really great!

Will play with it too.

However,  I am wondering if you would be willing to create RDF out of
this, like you do with the ".xml" extension. It shouldn't be a big
modification, does it?

Would be willing to help you out with this.

Take care,

Fred
