LinkedUp - Linking Web Data for Adaptive Education

Linked Data principles allow for easy discovery, reference, access and reuse of Web data. The user modeling community already widely exploits Semantic Web technologies, but the Linked Data approach is still not widely adopted. The LinkedUp project aims to advance the exploitation of open data on the Web, particularly for education. In this paper, we discuss the relevance of Linked Data for user modeling and personalization, and how to participate in and profit from the various initiatives of LinkedUp.
