Senior data architect for BBC News. Currently overseeing the BBC’s relationships with cultural institutions through the Research and Education Space project, he pioneered the “storyline” architecture which creates structured data from traditional narratives, allowing audiences and machines alike to explore networks of narrative using RESTful Web architecture. He developed this first in fictional environments - continuing dramas at the BBC including Doctor Who and Eastenders - and adapted it to news where it has been the basis for new approaches to the presentation of news through the BBC’s website.
