Abstract
Discovery metadata is a list of information that accompanies a data set and allows other people to find out what the data set contains, where it was collected and how they can get hold of it.
MEDIN has produced a standard for marine metadata and a set of tools to create metadata records that comply with the MEDIN Metadata Standard.
