Knight Center

This course is an introduction to the basics of the visual representation of data. In this class you will learn how to design successful charts and maps, and how to arrange them to compose cohesive storytelling pieces. We will also discuss ethical issues when designing graphics, and how the principles of graphic design and of Interaction design apply to the visualization of information.
The course will have a theoretical component, as we will cover the main rules of the discipline, and also a practical one, as you will learn how to use Adobe Illustrator to design basic infographics and mock ups for interactive visualizations.

Lean Semantic Web

PlanetData

The PlanetData project aims to establish a community of researchers that supports organizations in exposing their data in new and useful ways. In this context, the curriculum covers four main topics – Semantic Technology, Database Technology, Linked Data and Data Streams. The produced training materials are available as part of a series of video lectures.

Linked Data community website

The Linked Data community website itself provides a collection of reference tutorials and presentations. Unfortunately, it does not offer a training curriculum or a list of topics that are relevant and should be covered. Instead under "Guides and Tutorials" there is a list of relevant documents, tutorials, slides and frequently asked questions.

Data Science Academy

The Data Science Academy is a new project from Data Science London, which offers Data Science courses and workshops. Currently, the website provides a list of relevant courses. The courses are not specifically tailored to Linked Data but cover data science topics in general.

Cloudera

Cloudera develops open-source software for a Big Data, with its most prominent product being Hadoop – a data storage and management solution. Cloudera aims to support companies in interacting with large datasets at high speed, providing management and analysis functionalities on top. As part of its recent initiatives Cloudera has started an online university program for training. One of the main training courses offered is the program in data science. The aim is to develop practical skills, which can be applied in real-world conditions, for designing and developing a production-ready data science solution. The course is still in the beta version and is undergoing a process of verification and refinement. Currently, candidates must pass a written exam in data science essentials and complete a data science problem based on a real-world scenario.
The course offers a curriculum based on 11 sections and a rich collection of related materials, including books, papers, courses, presentations, blogs, meetups, etc. Below we give more details on the covered topics in the Data Science Essentials Study Guide:

Ontotext

Ontotext training has been set up in order to provide knowledge and expertise to current and would-be users of semantic technologies and Ontotext products. Semantic technology with OWLIM (3-days):
This course begins with the fundamentals of various semantic technologies and leads up to providing the practical knowledge required to build and support semantically enabled applications based on OWLIM. It is intended both for those new to semantic technologies and those who already have some experience.
The full duration of the course is three days, but attendants can book only one or two days, depending on their background and interest. People with a broad experience in semantic technologies and standards can skip the first day. The third day is focused mostly on the operational aspects of setting up and maintaining a robust OWLIM configuration.

GATE

GATE is an extensive open software framework, which supports a multitude of text-processing tasks. It covers a number of different languages, and, among others, enables text mining, web mining, information extraction, and semantic annotation. A series of different analysis and computation activities can be combined by defining a text processing workflow, based on integrating already preimplemented solutions or plugging-in own implementations. GATE is already widely used by research labs and universities, as well as by corporations and SMEs, worldwide. As part of providing support and training for the developed tools, GATE has offers courses, which are based on a curriculum consisting of three tracks. The tracks cover introductory level, basic programming skills, and advanced level. In addition, the curriculum includes two add-on courses, one of which is based directly on EUCLID materials. The reuse of some of the GATE training module can be very helpful in the context of developing skills within the four areas of knowledge expertise, which we have defined, and especially for data analysts.
