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.

Open Government Data Revolution

In 2010, Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt unveiled data.gov.uk, which now provides a single point of access to many thousands of government datasets. In this presentation, Professor Shadbolt looks at why public data consumption works, what open public data can do for transparency, and how it can generate real economic returns. Professor Shadbolt also discusses the achievements of data.gov.uk and how it is being emulated and copied around the world. He provides his view on why this Open Government Data "revolution" could be as important as any we have seen in the Web era.
