Abstract
This chapter focuses on the efforts to design and develop a standard pure Java API to access the metadata service of the EGEE Grid middleware, and provide at the same time a powerful object oriented framework to allow engineers and programmers to embed metadata features inside their own application, using a standard approach based on design patterns. A specific web interface is built on top of this framework that permits users and administrators to manage the metadata catalog, from any platform and everywhere, according to their own X.509-based credentials.
