TL;DR
This paper describes how the Astro-WISE system supports the KiDS survey by enabling efficient collaboration, data sharing, calibration, and quality control through a dynamic, live archive architecture.
Contribution
It introduces a data-centric, flexible system architecture that facilitates survey data management and quality control for large astronomical imaging surveys.
Findings
Successful implementation of Astro-WISE for KiDS survey data management
Enhanced collaboration and data sharing among the survey team
Improved data calibration and quality control processes
Abstract
The Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) is a 1500 square degree optical imaging survey with the recently commissioned OmegaCAM wide-field imager on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST). A suite of data products will be delivered to ESO and the community by the KiDS survey team. Spread over Europe, the KiDS team uses Astro-WISE to collaborate efficiently and pool hardware resources. In Astro-WISE the team shares, calibrates and archives all survey data. The data-centric architectural design realizes a dynamic 'live archive' in which new KiDS survey products of improved quality can be shared with the team and eventually the full astronomical community in a flexible and controllable manner
