InformaTEC Working Groups
Four working groups have been formed to tackle key issues including models, data integration, terminologies, and interoperability. The Open meeting will also identify other community requirements and allow these issues to be pursued with vigour, developing prioritised recommendation for adoption by the NERC Technology Theme Action Plan. InformaTEC will result in a series of completed pilot projects and a set of future proposals.
