Beyond the Polar Bear
summary
BBC restructures content with domain-driven design so every program gets one page per program (one persistent URL) fed from editorial data; the programs model maps brands, series, episodes and versions and scales to thousands of items. Food relaunch models recipes, ingredients and a canonical dish concept, doubling search traffic and reaching ~150,000 weekly search uniques; mobile rises ~20% in year one. Wildlife Finder stitches clips to species data by pulling Wikipedia and external datasets to teach connections.
