FEWS NET Data Warehouse
The FEWS NET Data Warehouse functions as the primary data storage location for all data viewable within the Data Explorer and other Data Platform modules. For an overview of the entire system infrastructure visit, Key concepts and architecture.
In more technical terms, the Warehouse system serves as an online information tool that provides a framework for enhanced data management, accessibility and security for the key datasets routinely used in the FEWS NET Project’s food security and early warning analysis.
Built-in analytical tools allow for simple analyses while also enabling data exploration through tabular, graphical, and map visualizations.
The FEWS NET Data Warehouse also provides the capacity to import data from external sources and integrate with preexisting internal data. This structure allows for integration of key datasets in order to perform rigorous, multi-dimensional analysis. This highly valuable functionality is made possible thanks to a highly monitored and extensive database of common metadata and geospatial references.
