  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 the European
Southern Observatory (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.
