EPA Metadata Editor

The EPA Metadata Editor (EME)

The EME is a simple geospatial metadata editor that allows users to create and edit records that meet EPA and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata requirements.

The EME is one of the only FGDC Metadata Editors that runs in ArcGIS 10. It can be used as an ArcGIS extension or as a standalone tool and provides ArcGIS 10 users with FGDC synchronization capabilities.

Important (EME 3.0 Users)!! EME 3.0 must be uninstalled prior to uninstalling ArcGIS 9.X. EPA has developed a patch to help address this issue. It is included in the EME download package and is installed separately from EME.

Metadata records created and edited with the EME are fully compatible with the EPA Environmental Dataset Gateway (EDG). The EDG is a gateway to web-based geospatial information and information services. It enables data consumers to discover, view and access geospatial resources (e.g.,data,services, or applications) made available by EPA's program offices, regions, and labs.
