ArcGIS Online: Metadata XML file not valid?

[RonKaden]

Hi everyone.

When downloading a dataset from the ArcGIS Online Open Data portal as Shapefile, there is a metadata file as XML included. Taking this file and trying to upload it in the meta data editor in ArcGIS Online, the error "The chosen file does not seem to be an ArcGIS format" occurs.

So ArcGIS Online does not create ISO 19139 valid metadata files? Does anyone encounters the same problem or have a solution?

Best regards,

I believe the metadata uploaded to Online needs to be in the ArcGIS Metadata format. The XML we provide in Open Data can be in the format as defined by the Organization. So you could have an ISO or FGDC metadata document in the downloaded SHP, that you are trying to upload.

Andrew - I hope you can make it to the EsriUC Metadata SIG scheduled

Or maybe send a member of the open data team?

Hi Curtis,

Would love to attend, but we have a Civic Technology SIG at the same time. I'm more than happy to meetup another time in San Diego to discuss metadata. Message me directly to setup a time!

Cheers,

Andrew
