Marine Environmental Data Information Catalogue

The Marine Environmental Data Information Catalogue (MEDI) is a directory system for marine related datasets and data inventories within the framework of the IODE system.

(From the web site) MEDI is an inventory of information about marine related datasets and is used within the framework of the IOC's International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) system. The MEDI system has been operational within the IODE community since 1979, initially as IOC Manuals and Guides.

The MEDI directory has been developed to provide a reference point for locating marine and coastal datasets and will be populated with metadata descriptions of marine datasets from IOC member states.

Note: The software appears sophisticated and mature. The data entered in the catalog may not be very comprehensive.
