definition: CEOS WGISS Integrated Catalog (CWIC) will act as middleware between the WGISS agency data partners and user interface client partners by translating between the GEO-supported OGC CSW protocol to the catalog standards used by the partner data systems. Societal Benefit Area (SBA) portals and virtual constellation portals will send search requests for satellite data to CWIC, which will send the directory/collection searches to the CEOS IDN and distribute the inventory searches using the WGISS common search criteria to partner data systems.
