The Metadata Editor (ME) is a tool providing an easy way to create XML metadata by using a simple web interface. The ME is fully customizable both in terms of the metadata schema used, of the DBMS adopted to store metadata instances and to executed content-based searches, and of the end user interface since the forms used for the creation of new metadata are configurable just editing an XML configuration file. The ME allows users to create, search and edit metadata records. It also supports the use of controlled vocabularies for the different metadata elements. Currently, the ME has been used in EU funded project and in a Italian Regional Project.
