Currently, we don't have any plans into this direction as we are 
concentrating on another also very promising hack (more later ;-).  There is 
lots of information about DVDs and CDs on Amazon and in Google Base. So 
technically it shouldn't be a problem to get these items onto the Semantic 
Web. Just take Tobias's PHP script 
http://rdfapi-php.cvs.sourceforge.net/rdfapi-php/bookmashup/ change the 
Google and Amazon API calls a bit and decide on the vocabulary you want to 
use to describe DVDs and CDs. It would also be nice to integrate some more 
public data sources (http://www.programmableweb.com).

What's about the Open University server? It seams to run PHP :-)

Cheers and have fun in Oxford

Chris
