RE: [backstage] iPlayer Today?
Does the BBC need a new queuing system, perchance? I signed up this morning, and all I've had is a website response saying 'If we're able to invite you' - guess that's a 'no' then Eamonn Neylon From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Daniel Sent: 27 July 2007 19:56 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: RE: [backstage] iPlayer Today? Mine just came through. As quickly as I had hoped for and much more quickly than I had expected. Just have to see now if it will work through my proxy (Joost didn't).

How are the accounts being allocated? I signed up this morning, and like Owen I'm wondering when I'll hear.

I'm connecting from within the BBC though - perhaps a different page is presented to external visitors? No, that's what appeared last night. What's been launched today is an 'open, closed beta', i.e. it's still only available to users of the beta but anyone can register their interest and at some point receive an account. Has anyone tried using the iPlayer on Linux using wine? I could wait for the Linux version but I'm quite impatient. :) Also, does anyone have any idea how long you have to wait before you receive an account? No virus found in this incoming message.

RE: WEB API (was Re: [backstage] Noise and Signal)
Tim Tony Hammond of Nature Publishing Group wrote a good article on augmenting RSS with domain-specific namespaced elements a while back at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/07/23/rssone.html. It shows an example of embedded Dublin Core and PRISM elements and might provide some inspiration (there is a useful link, in the comments, to a qualified Dublin Core representation as well).

There is a list of past (inc. the current programme) books chosen on the A Good Read micro-site - but again without any sort of markup. Would it be too difficult for someone to use something like span class=booktitleThe Rider/span by span class=authorTim Krabbe/span It could do with an ISBN or two in there as well - that would make tying the books to other, non-BBC bibliographic systems easier (such as library OPACs, OCLC WorldCat or LibraryThing). I'm only tentatively playing with these sorts of things at the moment, so I could be wrong, but might it be possible to include this, and all the other metadata mentioned, using the Dublin Core spec embedded as eRDF or RDFa within the html? since Dublin Core is an open spec this'd be great for interoperability, I imagine... cheers, Tim
