Linked Data from The OU

We interlink and expose data available from open institutional repositories of The Open University and make it available for reuse.

The data can be searched via a keyword-based interface, using well-known identifiers, or queried using the SPARQL endpoint.

The datasets relate the publications, qualifications, courses and Audio/Video material produced by 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.
