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 groupware and group decision tools to manage the shared pool of resources made available to the context by the members.
