Annotatable Audio, Tristan Ferne

Tristan gave an overview of the Annotatable Audio project at BBC Radio & Music Interactive.

Looking into open sourcing the code. Agreement in principle.

Launch likely to be around a low-profile factual program. BBC Single sign on will be required to contribute.

He has built some prototype interfaces in proce55ing:

• textual tags scaled to segments
• plus ‘most interesting’ photo from Flickr for each tag

Also little Odeo-ish Flash widget for syndication - but some people are unhappy with hosting BBC content offsite, due to concerns about lack of control over the context in which it is presented.

Will post his slides on his blog.
