Presenter: Mo McRoberts, BBC
Time: 12:15 – 13:15, Friday 30 September

The session will introduce our prototype implementation of the Digital Public Space (“Spindle”), talk about what it does and how it works, and talk through the structure of the data and how to use it as an API for the course of the weekend. I’ll also show off an API I’ve built to Redux and provide a time-limited endpoint which will let people get at the metadata and content while they’re at OTA.

Mo works as a developer in the BBC’s Archive Development department, which is responsible for building the prototype of the Digital Public Space on behalf of the various project partners. Prior to joining the BBC at the start of the year, Mo spent several years working for a digital agency building commercial websites, while maintaining a keen interest in the BBC (partly through Backstage), convergence between broadcasting and the Internet, and Linked Data.
