All BBC programs available in RDF!
BBC Programme Catalogue is live. RDF/FOAF descriptions of every show and contributor for the last 75 years. Nice (Rails-built) search interface. Like Dave I'd seen some of the work-in-progress on this, but didn't realise quite how thorough a job they were doing, they've even got hooks to Wikipedia (which is nicely timed after that just became available as RDF).

Now a SPARQL interface to this would be really cool for us programmers, to try things out.
I can't wait for when there will be a direct link to an online version of the programs! What an amazing research tool we will then have.

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
