Abstract

With the proliferation of educational materials on the Web of Data, interlinking learning resources has become an important issue nowadays. Interlinking datasets over Linked Open Data (LOD) enables enriching, enhances navigation, facilitates casual discovery, and improves resource seeking. To this aim, many tools, approaches and frameworks have been built to discover similarities between entities on the Web of Data. In this paper we evaluate interlinking approach on a huge educational resource (GLOBE) by applying two link discovery tools (LIMES and GoogleRefine). We also report the results of linking the GLOBE to the DBpedia and Factbook datasets and list the advantage of this interlinking process.
