Metadata that meets the standard

Describe research data against MIAPPE, ISA, Darwin Core, ENA and more — validated as you work, and exported in the form a repository expects.

Research metadata is judged against standards — MIAPPE, ISA, Darwin Core, ENA — and meeting them by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. Metaseed turns a standard into a form that knows its own rules, tells you what is missing while you work, and exports what a repository expects.

Manage datasets

Choose a standard and fill in the entities it defines. Every change is checked against the specification, so you always know what is still missing rather than finding out at submission.

  • Import an existing record from ENA, PRIDE, MetaboLights or a BrAPI server
  • Export to the format a repository expects
  • Full version history — nothing is lost, anything can be restored
Create a dataset

Build specifications

A specification defines a standard: its entity types, their fields, and the rules a dataset has to satisfy. Use a built-in one, or build your own when your work does not fit an existing standard.

  • Start from a built-in standard or from scratch
  • Validate as you design, before anyone fills it in
  • Publish to share it with everyone here — reversible
Open Specs

Explore and compare

Read any specification before committing to it: which entities exist, how they nest, and what each field means.

  • Compare two standards side by side
  • Understand a specification somebody else published
  • See the ontology terms behind each field

Collaborate

Share a dataset or a draft specification with named colleagues as Owner, Curator or Viewer, and discuss it in threaded comments on the record itself. Publish a specification when it is ready and everyone here can build against it — reversibly, so a mistake is not permanent.

Bring an AI assistant

Claude, or any client speaking the Model Context Protocol, can read and fill in your datasets alongside you. It sees the same specification rules the forms do, so it knows what each field means and what is still missing. Setting it up takes one command, and the instructions are waiting for you once you sign in.

Your work is private to you until you choose to share it.
