45
  <p>Metacat is a flexible, open source metadata catalog and data repository 
46
  that targets scientific data, particularly from from ecology and environmental
47
  science.  Metacat accepts 
48
     <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml" target="offline">XML</a> as a 
49
     common syntax for representing the large number of metadata content
50
     standards that are relevant to ecology and other sciences.  Thus, Metacat 
51
     is a generic XML database that allows storage, query, and retrieval of 
52
     arbitrary XML documents without prior knowledge of the XML schema.
53
  </p>
54
  <p>
55
    Metacat is being used extensively <a href="/community.jsp">throughout the 
56
    world</a> to manage environmental data. It is a key infrastructure
57
    component for the <a href="http://data.nceas.ucsb.edu">NCEAS data catalog</a>, the <a href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/">Knowledge Network
58
    for Biocomplexity (KNB)</a> data catalog, and for the <a href="http://dataone.org">DataONE</a> system, <a href="/community.jsp">among others</a>.</p>
