More About 23 Linked Data Things

23 Linked Data Things is a self-paced online learning program that provides a structure for investigating linked data projects and obtaining hands-on experience in creating linked data. It is designed for library staff who want to learn more about linked data principles and explore how linked data can transform the way we think about metadata. Based on the 23 Things educational project created by Helene Blowers in 2006, each "Thing" is a unit that is intended to take less than one hour to complete. A "Thing" might include readings, videos, and/or tools to explore, along with an activity designed to encourage critical thinking about lessons learned.
