Minnesota Metadata Editor (MME)

Introducing the Minnesota Metadata Editor

What is the Minnesota Metadata Editor?

The Minnesota Metadata Editor (MME) is a desktop application that is intended to simplify and expedite the process of developing geospatial metadata. 

The program operates as a standalone application that edits metadata XML files.

MME allows users to create, edit and display metadata that adheres to the Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guildelines (MGMG version 1.2), an implementation of the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC's) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). 

The MME is a customized version of the EPA Metadata Editor (EME) 3.1.1.  For more information on the EPA Metadata Editor, see https://edg.epa.gov/EME/.
