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.

Geographical Linked Data: The Administrative Geography of Great Britain on the Semantic Web

These slides document an interesting use case for publishing Linked Open Data as RDF. The project involved the Administrative Geography of Great Britain and an Ordnance Survey. The goal was to semantically describe Gazeteers using RDFS to describe the concepts and preserve the mereological and topographic
relationships. Focuses on some technical aspects but even more on policy development and best practices.
