Metadata Editor is an open-source, cross-platform desktop application designed to efficiently retrieve metadata schemas from MetaRepo and compile metadata documents.

 

It allows users who are not familiar with JSON to edit their metadata documents via a friendly interface and to register them in MetaRepo or save/export them for future modifications and reuse. Moreover, it can trigger the creation of a metadata document containing the provenance workflow of a given resource.

 

To facilitate the automation and the interaction with experimental instruments and electronic notebooks, the application provides REST endpoints for schema compilation and field reading.
