Proposed Group: Open Linked Education Community Group

The Open Linked Education Community Group has been proposed by Madi Solomon:

Pearson initiates this community group proposal with the W3C with the goal of facilitating and creating a curated subset of Wikipedia data that can be used for tagging educational content.

Goals:
• Build a SUBJECT database from a curated subset of Wikipedia (DBpedia) that can be used by institutions, instructors, and students, to tag educational resources.

• Create a website presence similar to OpenCorporates (http://opencorporates.com/) with API’s for reconciling with Google Refine. Provide tutorials on how to use Google Refine to access the datasets. Make access to the data easy.

• Build relations and bridges to at least 3 existing open linked datasets.

• Provide SPARQL endpoints for data

• Prepare and built out to 5-Star linked data (RDF/XML/JSON/schema.org)

You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of five supporters, W3C launch the group and people can join to begin work.

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
