Using the EDR searches, you can search for metadata by information resource, by text or text string, alphabetically, or by a specific metadata item. Some searches allow the search options containing,
beginning with, and exact match when matching a text query. When a metadata item search is selected, a form for specification of the query will be provided.
- Information Resource Search - queries data systems and other information resources by beginning letter/number, keyword, or information resource type.
- Text Search - queries all information resource types by name, definition, or XML tag (where applicable) using a keyword.
- Data Element Search - queries specific metadata items (e.g., data elements, value domains) by name, definition, XML tag, or information resource.
- Metadata Items Search - queries other metadata items.
- XML Tag Search - queries XML tags by text or information resource.
- Organization Search - queries organizations by name or acronym.
- Environmental Metadata Gateway - enables users to search the metadata registries using a URL with integrated search capabilities.

Enter a keyword or text string to search on the name, definition, XML tag, or all (name, definition, and XML Tag). Because the Permissible Value, Contact, and Value Meaning Tables do not contain registry name, definition, or XML tag information, the Keyword Search does not query these items. All searches are case insensitive.
Data Element Search
The Data Element Search can access information in two ways:
- To search for a specific word or phrase, enter text (e.g., air) or a text string (e.g., Clean Air Act) in the Name, Definition, or XML Tag field. The search will query all information types, unless a specific information resource type (e.g., Data System) is selected from the pull-down list.
- To obtain a complete list of data elements for a specific resource type (e.g., Data Standard), select an information resource type from the pull-down list and leave the Name, Definition, and XML Tag fields blank.
The Data Element Advanced search page provides additional search fields such as administrative status, data type, and EDR Identifier.
Metadata Item Search
Additional metadata items may be searched by selecting the item name below. When a metadata item
search is selected, a form for specification of the query will be provided.
XML Tag Search
To search for a specific word or phrase, enter text or text string in the XML Tag field to retrieve metadata. The search will only query the fields in which you have entered text. To obtain a complete list of data elements by source type (e.g., Data Standard), select an information resource type from the pull-down list and leave the other fields blank.
Organization Search
Click on Organization Search
to retrieve a list of organizations with information in the Environmental Data Registry.
