Hi Mo, Seen some very encouraging work coming out of BBC. I hear a lot about it over here in oz... Out of interests, Do you use WebID? If x.509 has been decommissioned, why? What would sway you towards influencing the use of a "webID" spec (that included a rdf uri, etc.) in an organisation (and group / industry thereof) so highly involved with ldp / linked-data... How could identity be included into hybrid broadcasting (whether Dvb or dab), when mixed with ip, or solely ip orientated, or even in concert with the "second screen" paradigm.... I imagine being able to serve the market in association to user identity, and environment (ie: education, capacity to "remix" possibly, for educational purposes, or bbc content sales / international activities, or it's heritage related projects, etc.) has an array of potential benefits that could be significantly supported by a w3 identity standard (and related requirements)... Also: how much influence do you have around the end-retail partners application of technology in association to your metadata-rich, content services. What might help your influence in supporting linked-data projects generally? Tim.
