The CEOS WGISS Integrated Catalog
CWIC is a comprehensive Earth observation catalog developed within the Working Group on Information Systems and Services (WGISS) of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS). The goal of CWIC is to provide the world’s satellite Earth observation data providers with a way to make their data collections searchable using common standards. The objectives of CWIC are: (1) to enable interoperability in discovery of satellite Earth Observations through common interfaces - OGC Catalog for Web (CSW) (Dublin core and ISO profiles) and CEOS OpenSearch Best Practices; (2) to federate catalogs using pluggable data connectors through data partnerships; and (3) to provide reliable search results up to granules - the smallest downloadable or orderable data. It has become one of the largest Earth observation catalogues on this planet with evolution and expansion over the years worldwide.
