Technical Requirements Workgroup

The Technical Advisory Workgroup (TAW) is a standing chartered Workgroup of the Open Competency Framework Collaborative (OCFC or OCF Collab) Network. Working in collaboration with the Requirements Workgroup on Skills and Competencies (RWSC) described above, the TAW manages all technical development, maintenance and enhancement of the OCFC search and retrieval service, associated data stores and applications in alignment with the Network-identified Use Cases. The TAW will include interactions with, and oversight of the execution of technical development Project Plans as well as contracted vendors assigned to those Plans.
The Chair of the TAW and the assigned Network Facilitators work with the RWSC and the T3N2 membership as a whole to continuously canvas for both evolving OCF Collab search and retrieval service needs and potential enhancements to adjacent tools and services such as 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.
