| Limits |
Per-account 5 GB aggregate is the binding constraint; ecological/environmental scope; EML metadata required. |
| Identity | institution (placeholder) inferred from the category 'academic'; the source record states no identity cost, so this is a class assumption, not evidence |
| Egress | Free public downloads with no metering; metadata is harvestable. |
| Per-object cap | not stated |
| Retention | 5 GB free per user ('Store up to 5GB of data for free'), with DOIs for permanent publication |
| Interface | rest rest |
| Tooling | Web upload plus desktop metadata editors (Morpho), EML metadata standard, DOI minting; a Metacat REST API exists for reads. |
| Composes with | 5 GB x accounts; no published per-dataset unlimited tier, so it does not chain to 500 GB without account multiplication. |
| Reliability | Long-lived (NCEAS, since 2003) and stable, but the 5 GB account cap makes it a metadata/DOI service rather than a bulk store. |
