<p>Metacat is a flexible, open source metadata catalog and data repository

that targets scientific data, particularly 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 |
5190
|
jones
|
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.

Metacat is being used extensively <a href="/community.jsp">throughout the

world</a> to manage environmental data. It is a key infrastructure

component for the <a href="http://data.nceas.ucsb.edu">NCEAS data catalog</a>, the <a href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/">Knowledge Network

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>
