Webinar@AIMS_Linked Data Competency Index: Mapping the field for teachers and learners

The IMLS-funded project Linked Data for Professional Education (LD4PE) has created a "Competency Index for Linked Data".

The Index provides a concise and readable map of concepts and skills related to the practices and technologies of Linked Data for the benefit of interested learners and their teachers.

This webinar will take a walk through this short document and explain its editorial principles. It will show how the social platform Github will be used to crowdsource its future maintenance and synchronize translations, such as the Chinese version of the Index.

The webinar will conclude with a look at how the LD4PE project website has used competencies to catalog Web tutorials and YouTube videos that are helpful for learning about Linked Data.
