Title Body Technical Expertise Cost Required Esri2EML and BDP2EML are very closely related programs for translating metadata from ESRI or FGDC and from Biological Data Profile (BDP) to Ecological Metadata Language (EML), version 2.0.1. Generally, these kinds of programs are called "crosswalks". The Esri2EML XSLT stylesheet will allow you to create an Ecological Metadata Language(EML) document out of an FGCD XML file generated by ESRI ArcGIS products. Note that there is a document explaining how to converting ArcGIS v10.0 Metadata to EML, since ESRI changed their XML metadata structure at Version 10 of ArcGIS. Biological Data Profile <-> Ecological Metadata Language Crosswalk: BDP is an extension of FGCD that addresses certain biological features, such as Esri2EML Basic taxonomy. Stylesheets which translate XML both ways: EML->BDP and BDPand programming Free >EML. BDP is used by NBII. BDP2EML skills The content standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata and Biological Data Profile can be found here: http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDCstandards-projects/metadata/... The Esri2EML stylesheet: http://intranet.lternet.edu/im/project/Esri2Eml/docs The BDP<->EML stylesheets: https://svn.lternet.edu/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=EML&path=%2Ftrunk... Both sets of stylesheets are part of the EML code in the Ecoinformatics repository: https://code.ecoinformatics.org eXist is an open source database management system built on XML (extensible markup language) technology. eXist stores information (data or metadata) encoded in XML. The database is queried using XQuery (XML query language), and follows many other W3C XML standards, including XPath and XSLT. eXist eXist includes a query editor and debugger. There is a large library of example data, code and applications that can be adapted. eXist typically runs as a Java web application under Tomcat, and also comes with a desktop application which is useful for uploading documents in batchmode. Advanced Free Title Body Technical Expertise Cost Required Metacat is a flexible, open source metadata catalog and data repository that targets scientific data, particularly from ecology and environmental science. Metacat accepts XML as a common syntax for representing the large number of metadata content standards that are relevant to ecology and other sciences. Thus, Metacat is a generic XML database that allows storage, query, and retrieval of arbitrary XML documents without prior knowledge of the XML schema. Metacat Metacat is designed and implemented as a Java servlet application that utilizes a relational database management system to store XML and associated meta-level Basic information. Installation of Metacat recommends the use of Apache Tomcat for programming Free servlet management and PostgreSQL as the underlying RDBMS, although other skills configurations are possible. Metacat provides a rich client Application Programming Interface (API) and supports a variety of languages, including Java, Python, and Perl. Metacat is being used extensively throughout the world to manage environmental data. It is a key infrastructure component for the NCEAS data catalog, the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB) data catalog, and for the DataONE system, among others. Morpho Morpho a program that can be used to enter metadata, which are then stored in a file that conforms to the Ecological Metadata Language (EML) specification. Information about people, sites, research methods, and data attributes are among the metadata collected. Data can be stored with the metadata in the same file. No Free Morpho allows the user to create a local catalog of data and metadata that can be programming queried, edited and viewed. Morpho also interfaces with the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB) Metacat server, which allows scientists to upload, download, store, query and view public metadata and data. The Taiwan Forestry Research Institute has produced a set of web-accessible tools that use Ecological Metadata Language (EML) documents to produce TFRI EML maps and statistical products. They are available at: Metadata http://metacat.tfri.gov.tw/tfri/. Analysis Tools One tool creates an "R" statistical language program from an EML document that can then be edited online . Another produces a Google Map displaying locations from the metadata document. A final module ingests an EML No Free programming Title Body document and the associated data and performs quality control checks and simple analyses using a graphical user interface.
