The Gravitational Wave Open Science Center (GWOSC) provides public access to gravitational-wave data products. GWOSC serves as the primary access point for data from GW observatories around the world, and provides a uniform interface for our data. Our data products include strain data files, catalogs of detections, and quality or injection segment information. In this poster, we highlight our data products, resources to learn how to analyze data, and the tools to work with them. Among GWOSC's efforts to improve the user experience are a collection of tutorials, a public discussion forum, and a world-wide annual workshop.
