The new BBC /music site seeks to provide a definitive, persistent set of online information about all the music the BBC plays. At the heart of the site are the artist pages which aggregate information from around the BBC and elsewhere on the web. In addition to the the artist pages you will find information about releases, album reviews and much more.
A core feature of the site is the integration with external services - notably MusicBrainz and Wikipedia. We are using these services to provide core information (discographies, biographical information, membership etc) about artists and releases. We are then combining this data with information from within the BBC - including details about which BBC programmes have played that artist.
