Introduction
============

The LE3_MC_ED PFs have the duty to produce a matched catalog from the Euclid redshift catalog and catalogs from external surveys:

* Planck
* sRosita; BOSS

The software is a Python program based on the C3 tool (Riccio et. al 2016, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.08494.pdf).
The LE3_MC_ED software project implements two PFs of the LE3-ED WP:

* LE3_MCC_ED: cluster catalogs matching;

MCC-ED is a very simple function which reads a configuration file,
an external input file and an official Euclid file and finds the sources in the
sources in the external catalogue that have a match in the Euclid one.

The implementation of the XML Schema description of the Data Model is compliant with ST_DataModel v. 9.1

The flowchart for products related to MCC is the following: (TBD)
