Hi,
The Standard Metadata published as a multi-layer services are not available in a Hub's data catalog as I would expect. Instead the Item's Metadata are available in a data catalog as a metadata for individual layers which Hub dynamically populates from the multi-layer service.
Actually, there is a lot of places where the metadata is available after publishing a service:
.../rest/services/{servicename}/Feature(Map)Server/info/metadata
.../rest/services/{servicename}/Feature(Map)Server/{layer_id}/metadata (this should be used)
.../sharing/rest/content/items/{item_id}/info/metadata/metadata.xml (this is used)
Having the service's layer metadata available in a Hub would be very useful, especially if consuming data from enterprise geodatabase, where the metadata is stored and managed. In this case, changes in a metadata inside an enterprise geodatabase are automatically available thru the REST API, without the need to re-publish the service, but are not available in a Hub.
Are there any plans for changing the metadata flow in ArcGIS Hub?
Thanks,
Matej
