v0.1.0🖈
This initial version started with the work of several existing efforts, incuding the 2018 version of a similar project and data accumulated through crowdsourcing and research conducted by interns at both FIS and DEF.
Many thanks to all those who dedicated their time and effort to provide a robust baseline! 
Our overall goal in starting out was simply to learn the best ways to reliably and consistently ingest Data and display it in the Graph - these two tasks form the main functionality of the project and enabling extensibility (e.g. multiple means of adding-or-updating-data.md and multiple means of cleaning-data.md are foundational to what we're looking at.
- Exported existing lists from various sources and started consolidating them in google-sheets.md to serve as an initial public view of
Dataoutside a visualization tool - Established initial entities.md list with associated fields based on existing lists noted above (see the
Labelscolumn inEntitiessheet) - Created initial categories.md for use with entities.md (see the
Validation (ignore)sheet) - Built initial list of tags.md to use with entities.md (see the
Validation (ignore)sheet) - Wrote initial connections.md by type to link entities.md (see the
Validation (ignore)sheet)
- Connectied google-sheets.md to kumu.md to see how the graph.md data import worked.
- Experimented with different entities.md, categories.md, tags.md, and connections.md to see how they look in the graph.md.
- No
Timelinefeatures were modified in this release. - While we are currently using kumu.md for visualization and it offers the ability to snap efforts to a
Timeline, our firstGraphwill focus primarily on connections to show where innovation-focused efforts are housed.
- No
Mapfeatures were modified in this release. - As with the
Timelinewe have the capability to display certainEntitiesin aMapview and are excited to add that functionality as we learn about the best ways to work with theDataandGraph.
