Working Groups

The RSC may appoint, as needed, Working Groups to assist it with the development of a particular aspect of RDA. Such assistance may include producing discussion papers, proposals, and other documents for consideration.

The terms of reference, tasks, and membership of a Working Group are agreed by the RSC on an annual basis, and are published on the RSC website. Members of a Working Group do not need to be from current RSC communities.

Information about earlier Working Groups is available at Working Groups Historical Documents.
