CEOS WGISS Integrated Catalog (CWIC)

The CEOS WGISS Integrated Catalog

The CWIC Project provides the world’s satellite Earth observation data providers with a way to make their data collections searchable using common standards. This webpage provides technical resources for potential CWIC data partners and clients. For more general information about CWIC or how to get involved, please contact  CEOS WGISS DAIG.

Note: The CEOS WGISS Integrated Catalog has now transitioned to the Common Metadata Repository (CMR) and the International Directory Network (IDN). The CWIC Project originated as the WADC Project.
