  BGO-OD is a newly commissioned experiment to investigate the internal
structure of the nucleon, using an energy tagged bremsstrahlung photon beam at
the ELSA electron facility. The setup consists of a highly segmented BGO
calorimeter surrounding the target, with a particle tracking magnetic
spectrometer at forward angles. BGO-OD is ideal for investigating meson
photoproduction. The extensive physics programme for open strangeness
photoproduction is introduced, and preliminary analysis presented.
