   <p>Metacat is a flexible metadata database. It utilizes 
      <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml" target="offline">XML</a> as a 
      common syntax for representing the large number of metadata content
      standards that are relevant to ecology.  Thus, Metacat is a generic XML
      database that allows storage, query, and retrieval of arbitrary XML

      The Metacat database models XML documents as a DOM tree, basically 
      decomposing the nodes of the XML document and storing the node data
      as a series of records in a relational database via a JDBC connection.
