Please give a short introduction describing the scope of the group and if any previous activities

The conteptual model for Agile Data Curation and associated planning and development of presentations, working group meetings, working documents, and planned tasks has been under development since 2014, including two RDA BOF sessions (Plenary 5 and 6) in which a broader community of RDA members contributed to the development efforts. The Collection of materials related to this initiative can be found 
within the project's publicly accessible [Open Science Framework sharing site](https://osf.io/8mtn3/) and within the group's public [GitHub repository](https://github.com/karlbenedict/agilecuration). Our growing bibliography of materials related to the development of our conceptual model can be found in our shared public [Zotero Library](https://www.zotero.org/groups/agile_data_curation). 

Please provide additional links to informative material related to the group i.e. Case statements, working documents etc
