  2. The Metadata Vocabularies page allows for the specification of metadata according to different existing metadata vocabularies, such as VoID, LIME, DCAT, ADMS, etc...
  3. The Metadata Registry page, allowing authorized users to define a system-wide catalog of known remote datasets, which are described by means of a combination of (metadata) vocabularies
