Login to the MEDIN Metadata portal

This is the old version of the MEDIN Discovery Metadata Editor. The new version can be found here: https://metadata.marinebiodiversity.org/. Both versions will continue to be supported until February 2026. Existing users will need to reset their password the first time they login to the new metadata editor. All records created with the old tool have been transferred over to the new tool, but if any changes were made to the old records since the new version was launched on 10th February, these will not be updated in the new tool, so the best option would be to either complete and export the record using the old version or to copy those edits into the new version.

MEDIN is a partnership of UK organisations committed to improving access to marine data. The Medin Discovery Metadata Editor allows organisations to enter information on their dataset which will then be searched using the MEDIN portal. Once the metadata has been created it may be exported as MEDIN compliant XML. MEDIN metadata is compliant with the UK Gemini and European INSPIRE standards.

Before creating metadata you must log in - this allows you to return to a metadata record and edit it again in the future.
