Hi Everyone,
Some of you may be interested in a focused track we are running as part
of the LinkedUp Vici Competition <http://linkedup-challenge.org>. For
those not familiar with the project - LinkedUp
<http://linkedup-project.eu> aims to get people and institutions using
public, open data available on the Web in educational ways - and is
doing this through a series of prototype and app development
competitions. Those who participate participate can win prizes, make
great contacts and showcase their ideas and solutions to a key community
of researchers and practitioners in the education field.
For the Vici Competition <http://linkedup-challenge.org> (now open with
a submission deadline of *5 September*) we have two Focused Tracks that
have been designed to run alongside the open track. They comprise of a
Focused Track and a Targeted Content Track. These tracks are looking for
prototypes that solve a particular problem.
The *Targeted Content Track: Water Resources & Ecology* will hopefully
be of interest to the open science community.

This track involves enhancing journal article content along with related
research statistics and datasets to assist in discovery, learning and
interpretation of disparate content and data. There are a selection of
openly licensed data sets for use in the challenge.
If you have any questions about the Vici Competition (requirements, data
sets, ideas etc.) do not hesitate to get in touch
<mailto:contact at linkedup-challenge.org>.
Thanks
