I had an amazing time discussing Open Knowledge Maps at the Research Intelligence Network Netherlands (RINN) Symposium yesterday. It was inspiring to see the emergence of a wide variety of use cases for our services in the Netherlands. Our discussions revealed possibilities from literature mapping for grant proposals, to integrations in library catalogues and CRIS systems, and use in information literacy courses. A heartfelt thank you to all the participants for such an engaging event! 👏
