- Import metadata to ArcGIS Portal so that it is available from a link on the corresponding Open Data page where users can download the data
- ArcGIS Portal can only import metadata from an XML file in ArcGIS format
- Exporting the metadata from the ArcCatalog item to a standalone XML file is a two-step process
- First, right-click on the folder where you want the XML file to go, and select New \ XML Document
- Then use the Import Metadata tool in ArcToolbox \ Conversion Tools \ Metadata to export the metadata from the source ArcCatalog item to the target XML document created in the previous step.
- For some source formats, the content of the Description/Abstract may be enclosed in HTML tags. This does not affect the readability of the Open Data metadata page.
- This process is preferable to the Export Metadata tool available in ArcCatalog, because the Export tool requires the use of a Translator file, which work with a limited number of metadata standards and do not appear to be reliable.
