This is really cool. Basically the idea is that an application extracts data from the Open University's Linked Data store and formats it with the JQuery mobile web library to create a web app that allows you to select and listen to podcasts. It does require a specific library, but as the author says the site could easily be adapted to use other stores, maybe even more than one store. And maybe one day (in my ideal open web world) any website at all (using RSS). "Thanks to the use of jQuery Mobile it would even be possible to take the site and embed it in a thin app on the phone to make it look a bit like a native app."
