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.

Vocabularies for Licenses

This blog post describes existing vocabularies used for expressing licenses when publishing Linked Data. Describes several ways for specifying a license within the data, or outside of it. If the license is specified as RDF, Dublin Core license or other elements can be used, pointing to one of many available well-known licenses (some of which are described here).
