13 Jul 2005A particular interesting project, as I have been doing a little research into this topic and recently retrieved the specifications for ETSI.
The BBC TV-Anytime Java API is for parsing, manipulating and creating TV-Anytime metadata. It is currently released under LGPL
TV-Anytime is an open standard for metadata describing TV and radio programmes that is designed to support Personal Video Recoders (PVRs), programme guides and related technologies. The TV Anytime Forum is an association of organisations which seeks to develop specifications to enable audio-visual and other services based on mass-market high volume digital storage. For further information go to www.tv-anytime.org. The TV-Anytime specifications are published by ETSI as the TS 102 822 series and are available at the ETSI web site (http://www.etsi.org/)

And other R&D Projects.
I have been a developer for roughly 10 years and have worked with an extensive range of technologies. Whilst working for relatively small companies, I have worked with all aspects of the development life cycle, which has given me a broad and in-depth experience.
