There are many types of commitments, but we have tried to categorize these into two main types (Internal and Campus), with a set of subtypes. In the OVCRI commitments tool the grouping of these types will be used to identify the main purpose of the commitment. If the commitment involves multiple sub-types, we will use the keywords tag in the OVCRI tool to make this connection. Contact mou@lists.ncsa.illinois.edu with questions, suggestions, and updates.
