Working Groups

To achieve its mission, the consortium has dedicated member committees working on specific topics and producing various deliverables. A Program Officer coordinates the working groups ensuring consistent methodology and enhancing collaboration. 

In 2010, the chartered working groups are:

• Harvesting,
• Access, and
• Preservation.

Adjourned Working Groups

In 2007 and 2008, there was a Standards and Interoperability Working Group, focused on the WARC standardization process. As that was finalized, the Standards WG was phased out. As it will be focusing on interoperability issues, the IIPC Technical Committee is expected to address most of the issues previously in scope of the Standards and Interoperability Working Group.

During 2003-2006, the following working groups were chartered:

• Framework
• Researchers Requirements
• Access Tools
• Content Management
• Deep Web
• Metrics and Testbed
