Source: https://onco.cc/years/1997/  
OnCo record `1997` (Year). Data CC BY-NC 4.0, attribute "Data from OnCo (onco.cc)"; commercial use needs a licence.

## TL;DR

Everything OnCo dates to 1997: 76 entries, 25 landmarks, 15 papers, 11 companies founded and 10 approvals. Each line links to the record it was read from, so the year is a view of the corpus rather than a second copy of it.

## Summary

76 dated entries in OnCo fall in 1997: 25 landmarks, 15 papers, 11 companies founded, 10 approvals, 6 journals founded, 4 trials reported, 2 papers listed on people's pages, 1 law or regulation, 1 technology and 1 regulatory event.

Of those, 1 to the day and 75 to the year only. Most of the corpus dates a fact to the year, because that is what the source it was read from gives; regulatory events and the readout calendar are the parts that carry a full date.

Everything on this page is generated from the other records. It holds no fact of its own, and it changes when they do.
