Putting Linked Data to Use in a Large Higher-Education Organisation

In this paper, we describe applications built on top of the Open University's linked data platform (data.open.ac.uk), from the point of view of the way they implement particular forms of interactions with linked data. We especially focus on the common advantages and pitfalls in interacting with linked data that these applications illustrate, from both the end-users' and the developer's perspectives. We conclude on suggested steps forwards regarding the ways to facilitate the realisa- tion and adoption of applications interacting with linked data.
