"Help tag a collection of BBC programmes from over 45 years of radio
"BBC Research & Development is running an experiment with the BBC's World Service radio archive to demonstrate how to put large media archives online using a combination of algorithms and people. With your help we aim to comprehensively and accurately tag this collection of BBC programmes.
"This prototype website includes over 50,000 English-language radio programmes from the BBC World Service radio archive spanning the past 45 years, which have all been categorised by a machine. You can explore the archive, listen to the programmes and help improve it by validating and adding tags.
"Some of the audio for programmes is not available to listen to because the BBC does not retain a copy of the programme in its archives or because of rights considerations."
