Source: https://onco.cc/years/2002/  
OnCo record `2002` (Year). Data CC BY-NC 4.0, attribute "Data from OnCo (onco.cc)"; commercial use needs a licence.

## TL;DR

Everything OnCo dates to 2002: 90 entries, 28 landmarks, 17 papers, 12 approvals and 12 papers listed on people's pages. 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

90 dated entries in OnCo fall in 2002: 28 landmarks, 17 papers, 12 approvals, 12 papers listed on people's pages, 8 companies founded, 7 journals founded, 3 trials reported, 1 law or regulation, 1 technology and 1 regulatory event.

Of those, 1 to the day and 89 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.
