Users retain their Intellectual Property (We retain the copyright over our content)
We showcase their work on backstage.bbc.co.uk for the world to see
Going forward
We want to work with the producers of successful prototypes to help them iterate further
Ultimately we want to implement compelling work back into the organisation - to benefit of our entire audience on bbc.co.uk
It’s possible because…
Available data: rights cleared and in formats people can remix (RSS, Web2.0, etc)

Only environment! Rights – BBC doesn’t own all of “it’s”
data Surprising amount of data not in a
CMS
Web2.0 @ BBC
…but that is slow changing BBC does “get it” Rights holders are beginning to
appreciate alternative biz models We are slowly eeking out cool data
from the BBC’s repositories (eg Programme Catalogue)
BBC Programme Catalogue (alpha)
Health Warning!
Today’s demo is of the current in-development/alpha version with development skin/template.
Classed as an 'Experimental Prototype', with all consequences in terms of availability!
This project is not about releasing any programmes (think IMDB not Mininova!)
The DB is not a complete record of all BBC's programmes (though it is pretty awesome).
Launch date will be early next year, as an experimental prototype
We owe the BBC's librarians a huge debt for decades worth of unsung effort
BBC Programme Catalogue
Rich relational database of most BBC programmes, particularly from 1980+
Ruby-On-Rails rapid prototyping Keen to off Web2.0 offering along side
the Web1.0 Project credit to Matt Bidduplh & Ben
Hammersley (+ the BBC librarians!)
