Interest Group Objectives

DSpace Interest Groups are teams which form around a common interest. They are essentially discussion groups where individual meet to discuss common goals, use cases or ideas. Interest Groups tend to have the following properties:

• Often they are ongoing, with no definitive start or end date. The interest group exists for as long as the common goal is relevant.
• Often they have no definitive deliverables or output (other than meeting notes or recommendations to DSpace Teams or Working Groups)
• They may establish Working Groups or pass off ideas to existing Working Groups (to achieve specific deliverables)
