In Grid Data Management this catalog stores links between the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) and Logical File Name (LFN). When combined with the Local Replica Catalog (which mapped GUID->SURL) this produced a Grid File Catalog.

The Replica Metadata Catalog was implemented for the EDG Replica Manager and the Globus Replica Location Service.

Installing

It's unlikely that anyone would want to install this as a file catalog, given the existance of the LCG File Catalog and FiReMan, however there is an install guide on the GOC wiki:
