Description
The session will provide a brief introduction to the Research and Education Space (RES), a BBC partnership initiative which aims to make it easier for teachers, students and academics to discover and use material held in the public collections of broadcasters, museums, galleries, libraries and publishers. We will demonstrate how this semantic web platform, built by the BBC, indexes collections of material from anyone who publishes their catalogues as linked open data and show how developers can build applications against the RES index using the open APIs. The rest of the session will provide an opportunity for developers, teachers, academics and students to have a play around with the APIs whilst members of the RES team are on hand to answer questions.
Agenda
A short introductory presentation and film followed by an opportunity for developers and potential users to meet the RES team and play with the APIs.
Participants
We will aim to have 2 or 3 members of the RES team attending the session to ensure all questions can be answered fully. Aside from that it’s up to attendees to get into groups if they would like to, or code on their own.
Outcome
We will follow-up with any developers who are interested and we are keen to make these into real products which can be used by audiences. We’ll also take on board any feedback we receive about the APIs.
