"Skills is one of the final pieces of the puzzle," Weiner explained in a
video about the deal. "It's not enough to standardize the data around the
skills required to obtain a role. It's also important that we can actually
help people obtain those skills themselves."

In a blog post, Weiner described LinkedIn's fundamental value proposition
as connecting people and opportunity. Key to Weiner's vision of connection
is what he called the Economic Graph, which is really just a way of
describing relationships among data sets. Just as Facebook's Social Graph
represents the way that its users are connected, LinkedIn wants to create
an Economic Graph that connects employers, employees, skills, and
opportunities.
.
LinkedIn began rolling out the infrastructure to support its Economic
Graph last year when it introduced its Galene search architecture, to
overcome the limitations of Lucene-based system. Among other things, the
architectural change allowed LinkedIn to provide Instant Member Search
beyond second-degree connections, improved relevance, and twice the speed.
.
Galene will allow searches where the search terms are not present in the
entities searched, but may exist at the edges of the Economic Graph
