"As if the annotated audio idea wasn't enough, today I got pointed towards details of the BBC's programme catalogue - a 7 million line database - which is being prototyped on a Rails framework. Of interest, of course, is that the database was developed and maintained by professional librarians, so it offers an interesting counterpoint to the distributed annotation model. Further fun, of course, from the fact that tagging, etc., is being layered on top of the professional annotation in this application. Now think about what happens when you link the programme catalogue and annotated audio-style tools."
