Linked Data for Education Why is it useful?

1. Linked Data as body of knowledge for education & TEL recommender sytems:

vast amount of publicly available resources and data

HTTP access according to state of the art principles

2. Linked Data as set of principles for data sharing:

to improve interoperability of educational data

facilitate learning analytics and recommender system scenarios across isolated platforms

Interlinking educational Resources and the Web of Data – a

Survey of Challenges and Approaches

LD for educational data/resource sharing Challenges of educational resource sharing

Issues

Heterogeneity & lack of interoperability

Lack of take-up

Vast Open Educational Resource (OER) & MOOC metadata collections (e.g. OpenCourseware, OpenLearn, Merlot, ARIADNE)

Usually exposed via APIs/services

Competing Web interfaces (e.g. SQI, OAI-PMH, SOAP, REST) & metadata standards (e.g. IEEE LOM, ADL SCORM, DC…)

Competing exchange formats and serialisations (e.g. JSON, RDF, XML)

Fragmented use of taxonomies

Page 9: Tutorial: Linked Data & Education

Data/services integration & retrieval/search APIs Linked Educational Resources

http://linkededucation.org/meducator

Approach: 1) On the fly queries via “SmartLink” (Linked Data registry execution engine for open APIs)

2) Data lifting from heterogeneous repositories using “SmartLink” API and lifting specifications

3) Data enrichment (via DBpedia, Freebase, BioPortal) & clustering, eg to identify correlated resources

Goal: improvement of distributed (non-LD) data with public LOD vocabularies; tighter interlinking to provide coherent graph of educational data (across disparate stores)

LD for integration of heterogeneous APIs & data Some issues/challenges

On-the-fly data integration, but issues wrt:

Annotation and description overhead: data lifting requires well-defined lifting specs for each API

Performance: distributed queries (multiple HTTP requests), on-the fly data lifting and processing

Scalability: decrease of query performance with increasing amount of repositories and/or data

Poor query performance (on large-scale datasets)

Redundant data maintenance => periodic data imports

Summary and outlook

Summary

Different ways of using LD in education (knowledge source, disambiguation, interlinking, enrichment)

Vast amounts of useful data

LinkedUp (http://linkedup-project.eu):

Linked Education data catalog (http://data.linkededucation.org/linkedup/catalog/): Linked Data-based catalog of open educational datasets (dataset metadata about, types, topics etc)

On the way: exposing non-LD educational data according to LD priniciples (eg LAK dataset)

Future work

Query federation and dedicated APIs

Exploitation in innovative educational scenarios and applications => LinkedUp Challenge (http://linkedup-challenge.org)
