The Cluster Science Working Team along with the ESA Cluster Project Team have established the Cluster Science Data System, CSDS, a distributed Set of Data Centres, most of which are associated with one or more of the Cluster Experiments. With Software provided by the Experiment Team, each Data Centre processes the Data and then exchanges them with all the other Centres to obtain a full Data Set in a standard Format.
