# v0.1.0

This initial version started with the work of several existing efforts, incuding the [2018 version of a similar project](https://kumu.io/aflazo/def-innovation-ecosystem-map#def-ecosystem-map) and data accumulated through crowdsourcing and research conducted by interns at both [FIS](https://www.linkedin.com/company/federal-innovators-salon/) and [DEF](https://docs.natsec.io/release-notes/alpha/www.def.org). 

**Many thanks to all those who dedicated their time and effort to provide a robust baseline!** :pray:

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](/workflow/contribution/adding-or-updating-data.md) and multiple means of [Cleaning Data](/workflow/evaluation/cleaning-data.md) are foundational to what we're looking at.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Data" %}

* Exported existing lists from various sources and started consolidating them in [Google Sheets](/learning/tools/google-sheets.md) to serve as an initial public view of `Data` outside a visualization tool
* Established initial [Entities](/about/elements/data/entities.md) list with associated fields based on existing lists noted above (see the `Labels` column in `Entities` sheet)
* Created initial [Categories](/about/elements/data/categories.md) for use with [Entities](/about/elements/data/entities.md) (see the `Validation (ignore)` sheet)
* Built initial list of [Tags](/about/elements/data/tags.md) to use with [Entities](/about/elements/data/entities.md) (see the `Validation (ignore)` sheet)
* Wrote initial [Connections](/about/elements/data/connections.md) by type to link [Entities](/about/elements/data/entities.md) (see the `Validation (ignore)` sheet)
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Graph" %}

* Connectied [Google Sheets](/learning/tools/google-sheets.md) to [Kumu](/learning/tools/kumu.md) to see how the [Graph](/about/elements/graph.md) data import worked.
* Experimented with different [Entities](/about/elements/data/entities.md), [Categories](/about/elements/data/categories.md), [Tags](/about/elements/data/tags.md), and [Connections](/about/elements/data/connections.md) to see how they look in the [Graph](/about/elements/graph.md).
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Timeline" %}

* No `Timeline` features were modified in this release.
* While we are currently using [Kumu](/learning/tools/kumu.md) for visualization and it offers the ability to snap efforts to a `Timeline`, our first `Graph` will focus primarily on connections to show where innovation-focused efforts are housed.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Map" %}

* No `Map` features were modified in this release.
* As with the `Timeline` we have the capability to display certain `Entities` in a `Map` view and are excited to add that functionality as we learn about the best ways to work with the `Data` and `Graph`.
