Working Groups (WG) “focused effort and tangible progress” for which roughly 12-18 months of work can eliminate a roadblock for a substantial community or have substantive applicability to particular segments of the data community
Interest Group (IGs) “common issues and interests” for which longer-term collaboration is needed. Often established prior to a Working Group for community discussion.
