This project contains the metadata schema component of a modular catalog implementation. This example is for the USGS Model Catalog (https://data.usgs.gov/modelcatalog), which provides access to metadata that describes scientific models used in the USGS. Metadata are stored as JSON files. Other catalog components include a web presence, a repository component, and auxiliary tools like metadata entry forms.
The repository of metadata files is available in the Model Catalog intake repo (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9IVG9VZ).
