Technical Implementation Working Group meeting

The next Technical Implementation Working Group meeting will be held May 7 UTC.

This meeting is being held after the April 29 UTC webinar about recent updates to the Hub, including the introduction of the Hub Integration Partner program, to create space for an informal follow-up discussion to share resources, questions, and thoughts in a smaller group setting. 

This meeting will not be recorded. If you are unable to attend but have feedback or questions about the membership program, please email the outreach team at outreach@localcontexts.org.

Current members of the Working Group should have an email and calendar invite with connection details. If you are interested in the group, you can read more and submit your interest on our Working Groups and Networks page.


The Technical Implementation Working Group (TIWG) connects institution and data repository staff, researchers, and others for technical discussions around implementing the Local Contexts Labels and Notices within metadata and databases. Meetings can be informal conversations, working meetings, or feature invited speakers. There are currently over 140 group members.
