A Resource List Management Tool for Undergraduate Students Based on Linked Open Data Principles

Resource List Management tools help educators create and publish lists of resources relevant to students undertaking a particular module, course or assignment. Traditional approaches to online delivery of these lists have been limited by lack of interoperability and integration with other campus systems, poor take-up by instructors and brittle linking strategies which break as institutions shift suppliers for e-content from year to year. In this paper we present a Resource List Management tool that uses Semantic Web technologies and Linked Data principles to overcome these limitations and improve the interoperability of data contained within such systems.
