workspace

An organized collection of documents, content sources, management folders, categories, document profiles, subscriptions, and discussions. It provides a central location to organize, manage, and publish content.

A directory containing geographic data sets for use with ARC/INFO. A workspace contains an INFO directory for the feature attribute tables. ARC/INFO workspaces have three primary uses: as a user work area, to store all the map sections for each tile in a map library, and as automation workspaces to store all the versions of a single coverage as it progresses through the coverage automation process.
