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.
