  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
