Abstract

The adoption of Linked Data in Education can bring advances to Technology Enhanced Learning, even though some obstacles still need to be addressed. In this paper, we discuss these obstacles from different perspectives, such as privacy and data ownership, the need for public policies to encourage the openness and reuse of data, the difficulties in data publishing and consumption as well as the construction of a scenario of technological innovation in Education through the use of Linked Data. Finally, we also present relevant actions and evaluation indicators to further advance in this field.
