Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group: 

The emerging Data Granularity Working Group arose out of a Data Granularity Task Force (TF), sponsored by the Data Discovery Paradigms IG.  The TF conducted BoFs at P15 (see session notes) and P16 (session notes).  The TF has been meeting regularly on a monthly basis and has drafted a Case Statement for a Data Granularity WG, and to better understand the existing needs and landscape for data granularity practices. At time of session application, the Data Granularity WG has submitted the Case Statement for formal RDA review, and thus has a status of not yet endorsed.

Short Group Status: 

Not yet endorsed, Case Statement is beginning formal RDA review.
