The BlueNet Metadata Entry and Search Tool (MEST)

The BlueNet MEST provides a tool to search for metadata records describing marine data sets submitted for curation by the BlueNet project. The MEST allows users to search for data and assess its quality through a metadata description. Data available on request from government agencies is also discoverable using the MEST’s ‘Remote Search’ option.
