This is the home page for the OpenEarth space at http://openearth.deltares.nl.

h3. OpenEarth wiki philosophy
This wiki is intended to be a low-level area to share documents, links and knowledge snippets. When logged in you can edit the site. When you press 'edit' formatting help is available. For the more sophisticated management of Data, Models and Tools the OpenEarth repositories are used (NB: login required):
* [OpenEarthData    | https://repos.deltares.nl/repos/OpenEarthData/trunk/] 
* [OpenEarthRawData | https://repos.deltares.nl/repos/OpenEarthRawData/trunk/]
* [OpenEarthModels  | https://repos.deltares.nl/repos/OpenEarthModels/trunk/]
* [OpenEarthTools   | https://repos.deltares.nl/repos/OpenEarthTools/trunk/]

The data collection procedure is described in the [Data Standards] document. 

h3. How can I join?

You can view the content of these repositories with your browers after logging in or you can [access the repository with a SubVersion client| SubVersion], that provides write access as well.
