The document discusses a doctoral candidate's presentation on linked open data and immersive education. It defines open data as freely usable data available through a network. Linked data refers to data elements that are linked to each other, even if not located in a network. Immersive education involves virtual training using computers or tablets to communicate with virtual and real worlds. Open linked data can be used and extended by different applications, and immersive education benefits from open linked data on the semantic web.

2. Open Data
Open Data simply means data that is freely usable
and recyclable open license. Data is available
through network.

3. Linked Data
• Linked Data, in turn, refers to the data elements,
which are linked to each other. In this case,
reference can be made to data that is not located
in a network, but is only linked to the network,
such as a bibliographical, museum, archive
material.

4. Immersive Education
Immersive training in this context refers to the
virtual training, taking advantage of computers,
tablets, or a simulation, so that the learner can
communicate with the virtual world and the real
world.

5. Open Linked Data
Refers to data that has been opened in a form that
other systems are able to take advantage of it. The
open linked data can be extended to recycle and
continue to mix and match with different
applications. Immersive education, can also be
called embedded training, is freely available and
benefits the open linked data in the semantic web.

6. Current Situation
• The situation of open linked data using immersive
training makes for an interesting and challenging
an increasingly globalizing educational provision,
for example, Mooc training.
• Professor Viktor Mayer-Schönberger has declared
that big data will bring the revolution in the health
and education sector. MOOC’s provide access to
educational content, but at the same time collect a
huge amount of real-world data.

7. What in the Future?
• Libraries and researcher’s are playing central role
the production of the linked open data.
• The core problems concerns copyrights and
standardisation of used data.
• We should highlite the research data or so called
big data in open science community.
