What is Catalog Service for Web (CSW)?

„Catalogue services support the ability to publish and search collections of descriptive information (metadata) for data, services, and related information objects. Metadata in catalogues represent resource characteristics that can be queried and presented for evaluation and further processing by both humans and software. Catalogue services are required to support the discovery and binding to registered information resources within an information community.” ~ OGC

How does CSW work in practice?

To provide you with CSW discovery service, we relay on open source solution called GeoNetwork.

„GeoNetwork provides an easy to use web interface to search geospatial data across multiple catalogs. The search provides full-text search as well as faceted search on keywords, resource types, organizations, scale, … Users can easily refine the search and quickly get to the records of interest.” ~ GeoNetwork
