An Organic Group is a list of people who are the result of a specific defined query, for example a group of all the people who are interested in car-pooling and are located in Devonport, Auckland. The group is organic because the query used to define it is able to be adapted by the interested members, and because the context itself serves as an informational portal for the group allowing it to refine and evolve under collaboration. Organic groups may also make use of organisational tools to manage the shared pool of resources made available to the context by the members.

A group of people can be defined by how people answer a specific set of questions. Even if the "members" of such a resulting group don't appear on any list, are not stored anywhere and never communicate their answers to anyone, it still exists in a certain sense by having a definite potential for action. We call this kind of "non-explicit" group an organic group (as opposed to a trust group which is one who's members are known to one another). The membership of organic groups can never be truly known and may be constantly changing, it's only when members are given the opportunity to act in a particular aligned way that the potential of such a group can begin to manifest.
