# 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://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](https://docs.natsec.io/workflow/contribution/adding-or-updating-data "mention") and multiple means of [cleaning-data](https://docs.natsec.io/workflow/evaluation/cleaning-data "mention") 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](https://docs.natsec.io/learning/tools/google-sheets "mention") to serve as an initial public view of `Data` outside a visualization tool
* Established initial [entities](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/entities "mention") list with associated fields based on existing lists noted above (see the `Labels` column in `Entities` sheet)
* Created initial [categories](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/categories "mention") for use with [entities](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/entities "mention") (see the `Validation (ignore)` sheet)
* Built initial list of [tags](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/tags "mention") to use with [entities](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/entities "mention") (see the `Validation (ignore)` sheet)
* Wrote initial [connections](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/connections "mention") by type to link [entities](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/entities "mention") (see the `Validation (ignore)` sheet)
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Graph" %}

* Connectied [google-sheets](https://docs.natsec.io/learning/tools/google-sheets "mention") to [kumu](https://docs.natsec.io/learning/tools/kumu "mention") to see how the [graph](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/graph "mention") data import worked.
* Experimented with different [entities](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/entities "mention"), [categories](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/categories "mention"), [tags](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/tags "mention"), and [connections](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/data/connections "mention") to see how they look in the [graph](https://docs.natsec.io/about/elements/graph "mention").
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Timeline" %}

* No `Timeline` features were modified in this release.
* While we are currently using [kumu](https://docs.natsec.io/learning/tools/kumu "mention") 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`.
