Working Group Objectives

DSpace Working Groups are teams which are created to achieve a specific set of deliverables. They are created / established with a specific action in mind, often by either the Steering Group or an Interest Group. Working Groups tend to have the following properties:

• They have a definitive start and end date
• They have a definitive set of deliverables or expected output
• They often report back to whatever Project Team established the Working Group (usually either the Steering Group or an Interest Group)
