MetacatUI

We want to be able to provide basic metadata management and data upload for researchers using a client-side app that is a replacement for the Metacat Data Registry (server-side Perl script.) This ticket is the container story for this work. We need to develop requirements, mockups, and use cases to convey the scope of the work before (and possibly during) development. Since this is a major change in both functionality and UI layout, we'll target this for a 2.0.0 release.

For development, we'll be extending the existing Backbone application with new classes that:

1) Support the creation and parsing of DataONE SystemMetadata,

2) Support the creation and parsing of OAI-ORE resource maps

3) Support the creation and parsing of EML science metadata documents

4) Support the future creation and parsing of ISO 19139 science metadata documents

5) Support the future creation and parsing of FGDC CSDGM science metadata documents
