The goal is to drive collaboration across the digital News Industry in open data and new technologies, in order to raise the bar for News audience experiences across the UK and globally.

Storyline aims to enable News publishers to curate and surface the important elements of News Stories, and drive aggregations and connections to enable relevant, exciting and serendipitous user journeys around News stories and related online content. Using linked data to do this enables us to make more use of open web standards, and to give the best News experiences in an increasingly fragmented and multi-device publishing environment.
