This page provides links to the core registry systems that comprise the System of Registries.


EDR


FRS

The Environmental Data Registry (EDR) is a comprehensive, authoritative source of reference information (metadata) about environmental data. The Facility Registry System (FRS) is a centrally managed database that identifies facilities, sites, or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. This site is the companion to the FRS intergrated searches in Envirofacts, a single point of access to select U.S. EPA environmental data. Envirofacts provides access to several EPA databases to provide you with information about environmental activities that may affect air, water, and land anywhere in the United States.

READ


SRS

The Registry of EPA Applications and Databases (READ) is an authoritative source of information about Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) application systems and other information resources. The Substance Registry System (SRS) serves as the source of identification information about substances regulated by the EPA.

XML


EIMS

The interim XML Registry for the Environmental Information Exchange Network Exit EPA siteprovides the capability to share information about XML Data Exchange Template (DETs), XML Schemas, Namespaces, WSDL files, and other supporting files needed to map data flows between partners. The Environmental Information Management System (EIMS) contains descriptive information (metadata) on scientific data sets, including remote sensing data, Geographical Information System (GIS) coverages, databases, documents, models, and multimedia.

TRS


WR

The Terminology Reference System (TRS) provides a single resource of environmental terminology for the EPA by compiling collections of terms from the Agency and other sources. The Web Registry (WR) is a centrally managed database used to collect metadata for EPA's priority web materials. EPA's search engine combines this metadata with the full text of corresponding pages and documents, in order to produce more relevant search results. This metadata is also used to dynamically generate document and web page collections, such as the Browse EPA Topics web area.
