Why Linked Data?
1. Content needs context to be useful
2. The BBC has data on its output but not on the subjects of its output
3. Commercial data is usually modelled at the wrong level (saleable items)
4. Commercial data doesn’t give you the freedom to make your own APIs on top
5. Using inference minimises workload
