The Technical Advisory Workgroup (TAW) is a standing Workgroup of the Open Competency Network (OCN). Working in collaboration with the Advancing Open Competencies (AOC) workgroup, the TAW oversees technical development, maintenance and enhancement of the technical tools and services initiated by the OCN. See the TAW Charter for more information.

The Chair of the TAW and the assigned Network Facilitators work with the AOC and the T3N2 membership as a whole to continuously canvas for both evolving Competency needs and potential enhancements for technical tools and services such as the Competency Explorer and the Data Ecosystem Schema Mapper (DESM) tool.

The Workgroup will define task-dependent Project Plans from time-to-time to accomplish specific Use Cases and TAW goals.
