<h2 class="entry-header">We, Robots Like Music Too</h2>
<div class="entry-body">
<p>In <a href="http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/c/capek/karel/rur/">R.U.R. (Rossum´s Universal Robots)</a> by Karel Čapek, Dr. Hellman, Psychologist-in-Chief, says:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Dr. Hellman (at door, left) Music is a wonderful thing, you know. You should have been listening. There's something ennobling about it, soothing …</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We like it too. The Web has given a unique opportunity for everyone to <a href="http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData">link data</a>, to share, to reuse and create. BBC is one of my favourite source of news. I like their site and I like their <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/purpose/">mission statement</a>. <cite>Tom Scott</cite> (<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radiolabs/">BBC Radio Labs</a>) says in a blog post on <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radiolabs/2008/05/helping_machines_play_with_pro.shtml">helping machines play with programmes</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>As part of our work on developing BBC Programmes we have been looking at how we can make the data available for other development teams outside the BBC. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>and</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We have been following the Linked Data approach - namely thinking of URIs as more than just locations for documents. Instead using them to identify anything, from a particular person to a particular programme. These resources in-turn have representations, which can be machine-processable (through the use of RDF, Microformats, RDFa, etc.), and these representations can hold links towards further web resources, allowing agents to jump from one dataset to another.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>He is asking the community for comments around the <a href="http://bbc-programmes.dyndns.org/">RDF version</a> of their schedules before publishing them along the other formats. There is also a cool demo which sends you notification of programme start. It should not be too hard to plug that into a Jabber client. In their demo, they are using <a href="http://growl.info/">Growl</a>.</p>
