Money

Planning Grants: $1500

Provide assistance to move an idea into an actual project by developing a marketing pitch, project plan, and resource allocations.

Start-up Grants: $2500 to $7500

Designed to support building a project plan to a proof of concept. Participants will be encouraged to focus on discrete datasets and specific implementations that are not full-fledged projects, but may be one working component of a larger project, and enough to illustrate the usefulness of Linked Open Data in action.
