Nodalities � Blog Archive � “Linked Data” at the Guardian: "During October at Guardian News & Media we announced a change in our Open Platform Content API. For the first time, developers and users could query our database of over 1 million content items by using the common external identifiers of a MusicBrainz ID or an ISBN number. It is our first step into the world of ‘Linked Data’.
The Open Platform Content API was launched as a beta in 2009, and earlier this year was launched as a commercial product, allowing partners to re-use Guardian & Observer content in a variety of different ways. There is, for example, a Wordpress plugin that easily allows you to include Guardian content in your blog, and developers have built applications like a bespoke recipe search on top of the data. It is a unique proposition amongst news organisations on the web, and as well as the Content API itself, the Open Platform also includes publishing the source data behind Guardian journalism on the Data Store, and providing a search engine for Government datasets from around the world."
