Human behaviour is a key driver (and solution) of many of our problems. Yet we lack a comprehensive, unifying framework to classify behaviours. After many years of grinding our first attempt is out for review 👇Definitely one of the most complex works I've ever taken part in!

💡 A huge effort led by @paulina_schenk, @robertjwest & @SusanMichie, this paper describes the development of the Human Behaviour Ontology, a framework for organising and describing behaviours.
