The project Linked Data for Professional Education (LD4PE), funded between 2014 and 2017 by the Institute of Museum and Library Studies (IMLS) and lead by the University of Washington Information School, developed a web-based exploratorium to support structured discovery of online learning resources about Linked Data. The project produced this website, which has been converted into a static site for preservation, and a Linked Data Competency Index. DCMI will keep this site online on a "best effort" basis as long as resources permit. The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine should be regarded as the source of archival copies for the long term.

Learning Maps

Authenticated users can assemble nodes from the Competency Index into logical sequences for use in defining formal curriculum structures or as personalized pathways created by instructors or learners as records of progress. This page lists learning maps created by users of the Explore Linked Data site and opened for public access by them. Login or Register an account to use the Learning Map Builder to compile your own personalized map.

More about Learning Maps

While the Competency Index underlying this site defines a set of competencies, it neither prescribes any competencies as “core” nor defines a logical sequencing of those components. In other words, the Index does not in itself define a curriculum by describing a single learning trajectory or pathway through the set of competencies expressed as Index graph nodes. Learning Maps enable teachers, trainers, and learners to map their own pathways through the Index graph. These pathways can be expressed and saved as named graphs that traverse, or overlay, the competency nodes of the Index.
