The project in a nutshell
| Why | As the popularity of Linked Data increases, so does the demand for data practitioners possessing the skills and knowledge necessary to understand its main concepts, and apply the associated technologies for data‐analytics purposes. The availability of such expertise is a driver for the sustainable future development of the Linked Data community. It can be achieved through targeted knowledge transfer, in particular through easily accessible training programs addressing the real needs of data practitioners, as proposed in the EUCLID project. |
| How | EUCLID will facilitate professional training for data practitioners aiming to use Linked Data in their daily work, through a curriculum implemented as a combination of living learning materials and activities (eBook series, webinars, face‐to‐face training), validated by the user community through continuous feedback. |
| For whom | For practitioners interested in using cutting‐edge technologies to analyze and make sense of large amounts of structured data; for technology enthusiasts aiming to broaden their knowledge on one of most exciting and rapidly evolving topic related to Big Data and open‐access policies; for researchers in the Semantic Web community who want to gain basic, down‐to‐earth knowledge about proven‐and‐tested technologies for using Linked data; for researchers in other disciplines interested to use Linked Data technologies to optimize specific data management aspects related to the scientific data they operate on. |
