The NPS Metadata Tools & Editor (MTE) is a custom software application for authoring, editing, and managing National Park Service (NPS) metadata. The MTE operates either as an extension to ArcCatalog versions 8.3/ 9.x or as a standalone desktop application. The MTE is intended to be the primary editor for metadata that will be uploaded to the NPS Data Store and produces XML metadata based on the NPS Metadata Profile. Metadata editing is accomplished with editing stylesheets that transform an XML metadata file into an editable record.
While not specifically designed for users external to the NPS, the Tools and Editor features a number of powerful metadata editing capabilities that any metadata author is likely to find useful. For more details on the NPS Metadata Tools & Editor, download the one-page fact sheet.
