The Open University Linked Data
The home of open linked data from The Open University.
data.open.ac.uk is the home of open linked data from The Open University. We interlink and expose data available in various institutional repositories of the University and make it available openly for reuse.
The data can be queried through a SPARQL endpoint.
Currently, the datasets relate the publications, qualifications, courses and Audio/Video material produced at the Open University, as well as the people involved in making them.
All these data are available through standard formats (RDF and SPARQL) and are (in most cases) available under an open license (see details).
