draft text mostly complete. needs one read through by me for sense check and flow, then ready to be reviewed and put into Markdown (which I'm happy to do myself)

OUTSTANDING!! This is excellently written and so informative thanks so much Harry! Just the most minor of suggestions/edits:

Where you mention linked data you can now pop a link into our new Linked Open Data page! https://libereurope.github.io/ds-essentials/lod.html
We need a new title I reckon. Maybe something like Data Viz for Exploration and Explanation ?! Or something snappier if you can fashion it ha!
Just run through and make sure all the links are in there, spotted some missing like: Peripleo

Under the Hands On section:

Would re-order that in terms of difficulty, so maybe swap the spreadsheet one around with the Intro to coding
Can we add reference to this in the Power BI hands-on activity? https://justin.kelly.org.au/introduction-to-powerbi-for-librarians/
Would be great to find a hands-on library data specific tutorial for the mapping and linked data section....maybe something relevant from in here: https://campus.dariah.eu/tag/data-visualisation
