Feedback: Awesome, just awesome - no “but”s. I was wondering, if not even doubtful, that the next versions would be useful, because there would be so much. This version is actually possibly more useful than previous ones. Not so much for finding datasets, although it is good for that; in addition, at a distance it gives you a real sense of the different sectors, and how they are connected, while the inter-sector connections are visualised. Of course it helps I have a 30” screen, so I can even read the words while looking at the whole picture, and without my glasses :-)
It makes me think that perhaps I was right, and sameAs.org would have spoilt it:- we’ll see next time, I guess. Well done team!
