ASG - Current Projects

Current Projects

ASG thrives on working for information discovery in multiple types of projects. Sponsors from many different fields approach ASG for help in solving information problems, and the group’s work often is as diverse as victim notification services to coastal metadata management. All projects share common goals to meet challenges for information management.
