MetIS is short for Metadata Information System. It allows users to discover and access geospatial resources stored in filesystem or databases. Non-geospatial data, services and software applications can also be catalogized.
The user environment is a common web browser. Users can quickly find relevant data or get detailed reports according to their needs. Having up-to-date metadata is necessary both to utilize your resources most effectively, and to comply with legislation and technical regulations like Inspire and ISO standards.

With MetIS you will know

• what metadata your company has, where does it have it,
• how accurate your data is, who created and processed it,
• who is the responsible person,
• what version of specific data you have,
• which data are obsolete and could be deleted,
• get similar outline over your software.

From Metis version 4 you can even get

• hierarchy trees,
• new and improved functions,
• metadata from ESRI_TM ArcCatalog
• FGDC-ISO transformations (ArcCatalog)
• etc.
