COnclusion
There is a lot to do with Linked Data in Education, and many initiatives exists already.
As the notion of education is itself evolving, Linked Data should be supporting these changes.
By enabling the analysis and sense making of activities on the web, as they reflect learning activities.
In other words, as education is becoming more open, decentralised and disaggregated, there will be more opportunities for Linked Data to become the primary way of sharing knowledge...
Thank you!
