Notes

Current workflow

Cohere+ research profile priorities

Question: What are our priorities for the Cohere+ ecosystem research profiles?

Primary priority

• About :fire: We want some kind of description
  • Start to use Obsidian backlinks for key concepts
• Key Educational Resources :fire: if appropriate, bc overall project has educational purpose/focus and WP4 would draw on educational resources we find
• Connections :fire: so that we can see some clusters emerge from connections across the space, so that we can get a sense of the field through relationships in the space
  • include inspirations/connections to key figures/concepts too
• All frontmatter except sector and activity :fire: helpful to have some strucutred data for comparison across key fields, esp fields that are pretty straightforward to fill in

Secondary priority

These things seem helpful, but also take more time and we're not clear on final sector and activity categories yet cf #168

• Sector
• Activity
• Theory of Change

Tertiary priority

• Key People

i added analysis of what are our current research priorities for the cohere+ profiles in the DB in notes section above. So that we have agreement on what to focus on first in our org research when we have limited time. i.e. i propose we would focus on filling out the primary priority fields first. @matthewmccarthy11 and i discussed briefly yesterday. @rufuspollock would you take a quick look and give thumbs up or flag concerns?

[rufuspollock]

@catherinet1 i think we are abusing this issue a bit 😉 the metadata discussion was supposed to be in https://github.com/life-itself/ecosystem/issues/143 - plus we now have https://github.com/orgs/life-itself/discussions/950

I think we want to focus this just on the workflow (and close asap) and re-open #143 if we need to.

wdyt?

FIXED to an extend and now INVALID as OBSOLETE. I don't think is really that relevant anymore.
