D1.3 Open Data technological study Deliverable factsheet Project Number: 562604-EPP-1-2015-1-EL-EPPKA2-KA Project Acronym: ODEdu Project Title: Innovative Open Data Education and Training based on PBL and Learning Analytics Title of Deliverable: D1.3 – Open Data technological study Work package: WP1 – Stakeholders needs regarding Open Data Due date according to contract: 30/09/2016 Editor(s): Paul Hermans (ProXML) Contributor(s): UOM Reviewer(s): AcrossLimits Approved by: All Partners Abstract: This document presents an inventory of tools available for publishing and reusing Open Data. The study carried out towards this objective took into consideration the Open Data Lifecycle and the curriculum structure that were designed and proposed in the previous two deliverable of the current Work Package. Furthermore, the report performs assessment on teach technology and provides recommendations of the identified tools for each target group (persona) considered in the context of the project. The most important finding is that the majority of the Open Data Lifecycle phases can be covered easily with even multiple valid choices so that curriculum building can leverage this.
