    • U.S. EPA Metadata Editor (EME)

    Metadata Updated: February 25, 2025

    The EPA Metadata Editor (EME) allows users to create geospatial metadata that meets EPA's requirements. The tool has been developed as a desktop application that works as a standalone tool or as an extension to ESRI's ArcCatalog. It provides a customized editing environment that allows users to select EPA defaults within the user interface, while also allowing users the flexibility to specify their own defaults.
