New BBC Sports Website Makes Heavy Use of RDF

New submitter whyloginwhysubscribe writes "A technical blog post describes how the BBC has rolled out the latest changes to its sports website in anticipation of the Summer Olympics in London. The innovative content management system extends the already available dynamic semantic publishing, which enables their journalists 'to spend more time creating great content and less time managing that content.' The post covers some of the technical and lots of the HCI / UI design decisions and is accompanied by a non-technical overview of the re-design."

    They had better be careful. Apple is a very lawsuit-happy corporation.

    Unfortunately we have a bit of a backlog, and the year of the semantic web is current queued just behind the year of the linux desktop, so there may be a short delay.

    Never mind RDF. What's 'sport'?

  6. Unfortunately by Lincolnshire+Poacher · · Score: 1, Funny

    Unfortunately two-thirds of the pages are reserved for corporate sponsors and the public is required to enter a raffle to have to have the opportunity of viewing the remaining pages, most of which are concerned with lawn bowling and tiddlywinks.

    Only VISA is accepted for page view payments.

    Do not attempt to drink non-sponsoring beverages whilst viewing the pages.

    Note to non-UKians: this is indeed satire.
