Programme Archive
Matt Biddulph and Ben Hammersley have just blogged about a BBC project they've just started working on that will in Matt's words will open up a
a huge (BBC) database that’s been carefully tended by a gang of crack BBC librarians for decades. Nearly a million programmes are catalogued, with descriptions, contributor details and annotations drawn from a wonderfully detailed controlled vocabulary.
This should be in public beta early in the New Year, but if you have any ideas or comments based on the screenshots and explanations from Ben and Matt then let them/us know.
