BBC Feeds Hub Here in the Distribution Technologies team for BBC A&M Interactive, we look at how best to distribute media and metadata across A&M for current and future platforms; we also look at how to syndicate our content to external partnerships and the public.

Feeds are a great way of reusing content more easily in an automated way.

In A&M we reuse and reversion many different feed formats, not just RSS, to save us duplicating work across different platforms.

Feeds Hub is one of our new projects focusing on registering, reusing and reversioning data feeds.

My team - Terry O'Leary and Toby Bradley - organised the streaming elements, as we do for much of the music events we cover on a regular basis, as well as things like 'ScottCam' which you will remember from last year.

The first thing is a discussion about the audio, and a quick explanation (I've tried to write this in simpler terms, so audiophiles please suppress your urge to correct my terminology).

I work in BBC Audio & Music's Distribution Technologies team, where we look after lots of things relating to how our output is delivered via the different technologies. I look after the IP delivery area, which includes streaming strategy, capacity and infrastructure and looking after IP device manufacturers (eg WiFi Radios). One of the things we have for these manufacturers is an aggregation feed of all our podcasts.
