Hi - I have about 30 file geodatabases each with three layers. Each of the geodatabases will use the same meta data. I'm using the basic ESRI meta data format -- Summary, Description, Credits. I have the meta data I want for each of the layers in a word doc. Is there anyway to import the meta data into the feature classes without copying and pasting each separately within edit meta data tool in catalog?
Thanks
Pete
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you get the metadata imported for one GDB, you should be able to use Python to export/import the metadata to the feature classes in the other GDBs.

There is a workflow to import metadata certainly but I don't know if the Word doc would work as the input data format.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll investigate both of these methods
