Just a couple of minutes ago on the Music Ontology mailing list, Nicholas Humfrey from the BBC announced the availability of linked data on BBC Music.

This is just really, really, really great... Congratulations to the /music team!
Update: Tom Scott just wrote a really nice post about the new BBC music site, explaining what the BBC is trying to achieve by going down the linked data path.

That's pretty neat - what's the first meshup app to be made from this do you think?
Still a bit early, but I guess the obvious mesh-up app would be a bbc linked data-based recommendation engine. However, we may have to wait for further arrows in their pentagram of data to make really interesting things.
However, the current dbpedia linkage already allows us to do quite a lot of fun queries :-) I quite like the example in slide 67 of Alexandre's last week presentation at my lab. Also, multi-lingual queries powered by dbpedia resources are really great.
Nice, seems that the app's are getting better and better every day!
