Prototype data catalogue for discovery metadata.

Overview

The BAS Data Catalogue is data discovery tool used to find, evaluate and access resources produced, managed and/or used by the British Antarctic Survey and UK Polar Data Centre. This includes datasets, products (maps), services and other information.

[!IMPORTANT] This project is temporary to formalise and build out refactored components initially developed in the BAS Assets Tracking Service that will form the next release of the ADD Metadata Toolbox 🛡️, which will form the new BAS Data Catalogue.

[!NOTE] This project is focused on needs within the British Antarctic Survey. It has been open-sourced in case parts are of interest to others. Some resources, indicated with a '🛡' or '🔒' symbol, can only be accessed by BAS staff or project members respectively. Contact the Project Maintainer to request access. <!-- pyml enable md028 -->
