Re: [backstage] Your ideas are now finally welcomed
Getting down to the nitty-gritty of our internal data structure we'd probably say that the International World Service 'Top of the Pops' and the BBC One 'Top of the Pops' http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00704hg ARE different programme 'brands' but belonging to the uber 'franchise' of 'Top of the Pops'... although we don't have 'franchise' in our data structure yet. It would be the same for the 'franchise' Doctor Who and it's various incarnations: BBC One's 'Doctor Who': http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006q2x0 Radio 7's 'Doctor Who': http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b009szrh BBC Three's 'Doctor Who Confidential': http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006q2xb etc, etc... ___ Jamie Tetlow Designer BBC Future Media Technology for Audio Music Interactive 718, Henry Wood House, W1B 3DF T:020 776 54671 M:07989 987239 Working on: DynPub APS - Dynamic Publishing - Automated Programme Support http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes On 5/1/09 10:47, Gareth Davis gareth.da...@bbc.co.uk wrote: From: owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk [mailto:owner-backst...@lists.bbc.co.uk] On Behalf Of James Cridland Sent: 31 December 2008 22:15 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] Your ideas are now finally welcomed On Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 1:11 PM, Gareth Davis gareth.da...@bbc.co.uk wrote: It still still being made, just not for the tellybox :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/top_of_the_pops.shtml So, why doesn't it appear in http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00704hg/upcoming Surely it should - it's the same brand (owned by BBC ONE, but you still broadcast a radio version) -- http://james.cridland.net/ | http://notatallbad.ltd.uk/legal_info/ Technical answer is: We have quite a few English programmes that are not broadcast on the World Service English for UK network, and as all international networks are currently out of scope for /programmes, they do not appear in /programmes or iPlayer. -- Gareth Davis | Production Systems Specialist World Service Future Media, Digital Delivery Team - Part of BBC Global News Division 8 http://www.bbcworldservice.com/ http://www.bbcworldservice.com/ + 702NE Bush House, Strand, London, WC2B 4PH ( 02 71285 (internal) ( +44 (0)20 7557 1285 (external) : gareth.da...@bbc.co.uk
[backstage] Travel feed data....
I'm wondering if one of you good fellows can help me? I am in the process of writing a vista gadget (similar to the ones produced by the daily snooze) that consumes the BBC travel feeds. The idea is to provide a gadget that can display the latest travel information for a specified area. The development is done (for the most part) but I'm having some specific problems with the data within the XML feeds: For Road traffic messages... The only way I can see to tell if a road incident has been cleared is if the version_number attribute on the road_traffic_message node is set to 255. This seems very arbitrary and I'm not sure if it always works... For other (public transport) messages... Each item has a transport_mode node (with an attribute of the same name) on the root public_transport_information node. I assumed that this transport_mode sub-node described the type of transport mode for the item however it is always railway service (entity reference: pti1_1) regardless of whether the node describes air, ferry or railway information. Any help / clarification on these would be most helpful. Mike

Re: [backstage] Your ideas are now finally welcomed
well exactly, if you don't want to care about it, but equally you may only be interested in the World Service TOTP and so making sure we get the modelling and structure right (and then expose it nicely - which I guess is the main point here ;-) means you'll be able to slice and dice our programming whichever way you want, Jamie.
