So far I've looked at one line of one index card and assembled about thirty links to go through later, downloaded over 20 pdfs, and am feeling both excited and a bit overwhelmed.

At least I know I'll have plenty to write about on this topic alone!!

Successful start of the #SWIB23 days wit our #VIVO23 meetup. We discussed about #researchProjects, what constitutes them, when they start and end (and if!), how they can be classified, what is already in the #VIVOontology, #KDSF, #CERIF and much more.
