Mercury (metadata search system)

Mercury Metadata Search System

Mercury is a distributed metadata management, data discovery and access system.[1] It is a scientific data search system to capture and manage biogeochemical and ecological data in support of the Earth science programs funded by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) and United States Geological Survey (USGS) - Department of Interior (DOI). Mercury was originally developed for NASA, but the consortium is now supported by USGS and the DOE. Ongoing development of Mercury is done through an informal consortium at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Mercury is a part of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Environmental Sciences Division (ESD)[2] and a contributor to the Climate Change Science Institute (CCSI).[3]
