Corporate Spatial Warehouse

The Corporate Spatial Warehouse (CSW) is a read-only central repository of spatial data. The warehouse stores corporate data collections in an easy to use, standardized and client specific manner. All data is modeled and has associated metadata. Each data set is managed by the designated custodian, who maintains the data and is accountable for the data standards.
