MDImportExportOption Enumeration

In This Topic

Enumeration of options for importing metadata to and exporting metadata from an item. Used to identify the XML format of a metadata document that will be imported, or the XML format of the metadata document that will be created on export. An appropriate transformation will take place between the ArcGIS metadata XML format and the indicated XML format. On import, the resulting ArcGIS metadata is saved to the item. Remarks: On import, if the selected option identifies an XML format that doesn’t match the XML format of the source metadata document the wrong transformation will be performed. The resulting content that is formatted as ArcGIS metadata can be missing some or all of the original content.

Member	Description
esriCurrentMetadataStyle	The format of the metadata document that will be imported is assumed to match the XML format of metadata standard associated with the current metadata style. Exported metadata documents will be created in the XML format of the current metadata style.
esriCustomizedStyleSheet	A custom XSLT will be used to convert between ArcGIS metadata and another XML format, either during the import process or the export process.
esriEsriIso	The metadata document that will be imported has content stored in the ESRI-ISO metadata format. For example, it may have been created using ArcGIS Desktop 8.x or 9.x. This option is not supported as an export format.
esriFgdcCsdgm	The metadata document that will be imported has content stored in the FGDC CSDGM XML format. Or, the metadata document that will be exported will have content stored in the FGDC CSDGM XML format.
esriIso19115_3	The metadata document that will be exported has content stored in the ISO 19115-3 metadata format. This option is not supported as an import format.
esriIso19139	The metadata document that will be imported has content stored in the ISO 19139 XML format. Or, the metadata document that will be exported will have content stored in the ISO 19139 XML format. The GML namespace used in ISO 19139 XML document is appropriate for the 2007 version of the ISO 19139 XML Schemas: http://www.opengis.net/gml.
esriIso19139Gml32	The metadata document that will be imported has content stored in the ISO 19139 XML format. Or, the metadata document that will be exported will have content stored in the ISO 19139 XML format. The GML namespace used in the ISO 19139 XML document is appropriate for the 2012 version of the ISO 19139 XML Schemas, which corresponds to the ISO 19136 version of the GML standard: http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2.
esriIso19139Unknown	The metadata document that will be imported has content stored in the ISO 19139 XML format. Use this option if you are unsure which GML namespace the document is associated with. The namespace in the document will be checked and the correct conversion will be performed to transform its content to the ArcGIS metadata XML format. This option is not supported as an export format.
esriMetadataStyleNone	Use this option if you are unsure what XML format is used by a metadata document. The format of the document will be checked and the correct conversion will be performed to transform its content to the ArcGIS metadata XML format. This option is not supported as an export format.
