The EPA Metadata Editor (EME) is a simple geospatial metadata editor that allows users to create and edit records that meet EPA metadata requirements.

EPA developed several major versions of the EME over the years. All installation files and source code for all versions of the EME can be found on the official U.S. EPA GitHub site.
