XTech 06 Schedule Announced
I don't know how many of you are going to be at this years XTECH;
but the schedule, which has just been announced, has several BBC speakers and BBC related topics.
Matt Biddulph [ex BBC/HackDiary] will be revealing more behind an upcoming BBC protoype; Putting the BBC's Programme Catalogue on Rails. Chief Backstager, Tom Loosemore has come up with; Treating Digital Broadcast As Just Another API, and other such ruminations and will be showing off some, up til now, internal TV related prototypes. Our Radio and Music colleague; Tristan Ferne is revealing more about his team's annotatable [currently internal only] audio project/prototype; Chopping Up Radio - collaboratively annotating radio programmes and frequent Backstage email listers; David Wood and Brendan Quinn are going to talk, for the first time I think, about their work on content management systems at the BBC; Content modelling at the BBC using RDF and OWL. Finally Paul Hammond (also from our Radio and Music team) has the intriguingly titled; An open (data) can of worms.
The conference, which is in Amsterdam also features heaps on microformats, AJAX, Info Clouds and the Semantic Web.
