MetacatUI is a client-side web interface for querying Metacat servers and other servers that implement the DataONE REST API.  Currently, it is used as the basis for the [KNB Data Repository](http://knb.ecoinformatics.org), the [NSF Arctic Data Center](https://arcticdata.io/catalog/), the [DataONE federation](https://search.dataone.org), and other repositories.

MetacatUI is an open source, community project.  We [welcome contributions](https://github.com/NCEAS/metacatui/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) in many forms, including code, graphics, documentation, bug reports, testing, etc.  Use the [discussion list](https://github.com/NCEAS/metacatui/issues) to discuss these contributions with us.
