Hi, The version of Data Reviewer for Desktop needs to match the installed version of ArcGIS Desktop. Here is a link to the 10.4 installation guide for reference. ... View more

The automated reports are intended for use in quantifying errors on features and stand-alone tables. The metrics they report (primarily accuracy calculations) don't translate particularly well to metadata content. You can export the results to Excel (using the Export Grid to Excel tool) for reporting. Any thoughts on how you might calculate an accuracy rate on metadata content?? ... View more

Sounds like you may need to start a Reviewer Session in order to persist your results in a geodatabase.  Here is a link to the help topic which outlines how to start a session:  http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/extensions/data-reviewer/starting-a-reviewer-session-in-a-nonenterprise-geodatabase.htm Once you have a session started, you will have the option to either interactively browse the results or write results to the Reviewer Table after running a check. ...

Hey Thomas, Here are some resources that you might find useful in learning more about the capabilities provided in Data Reviewer for Server extension: Planning and Deploying Data Quality Services (Technical Workshop recording) Integrating ArcGIS Data Reviewer & ArcGIS Workflow Manager for Server to Automate Data Quality Control (Technical Workshop recording) JavaScript Data Reviewer capabilities are integrated in the 3.14 release of ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Here you can find documentation and code samples for integrating Data Reviewer's capabilities into custom applications.

Hi, This is a great question and highlights one of the challenges (and under-documented aspects) of using the advanced features of the Metadata Check. To validate metadata content using a custom XPath query it should be constructed as an error condition which will return as "True" when the expression is executed in the Metadata Check.  For each metadata element which tests �??True�?� you will be returned a Reviewer result. In your scenario, you want to write a result when the FGDC Use Constraints element (/metadata/idinfo/useconst) is NOT equal to "These data are provided by ...xxyyzz...".  The XPath expression which tests "True" for this condition would be: /metadata/idinfo/useconst[not(. = "These data are provided by ...xxyyzz...")] Using this expression, Data Reviewer will write an result for every instance of the Use Constraint element (/metadata/idinfo/useconst) which is not equal to "These data are provided by ...xxyyzz...". Since this particular element may be repeated a number of times in the metadata record I'd recommend that you disable duplicate checking.  This will ensure that you get a complete list of these element errors. Give this a try and let us know how it works! ... View more

Peter, It sounds like you need to verify that certain sections of the FGDC standard are being populated and in some cases you need to verify that elements are populated with specific information. If that is the case, I would recommend implementing a series of content validation expressions using the Metadata check's "Validate Metadata Content" check option.  This check option will enable you to identify whether a metadata element has been populated (using the IsNull Pre-Defined Expression) or contains specific content (using a Custom Expression). The "Validate Metadata Content" check option is discussed in detail in the Data Reviewer blog article entitled "Did you know you can automate metadata validation (part 2)?" with examples provided of its use. To determine which elements to check, you may want to leverage the recommendation outlined in the "Tips and Tricks" section of the article regarding methods for determining element XPATH names.  This section proposes a workflow for identifying a metadata element's name by using the ArcGIS Metadata Editor to populate a metadata template with "dummy" values.  The metadata template is then exported using the Esri Metadata Translator GP tool to an XML file where a 3rd-party XML viewer can be used to look-up FGDC element's name. [ATTACH=CONFIG]17578[/ATTACH] Good luck with configuring the check. ... View more

Hi Peter, For clarification, which FGDC standard are you using to validate metadata content? In the case of the FGDC's CSDGM, schema-based validation can be carried-out using either a document type definition (http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/fgdc-std-001-1998.dtd) or an XML schema document (http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/fgdc-std-001-1998.xsd).  Schema validation using Data Reviewer's Metadata check is based on a standard's XSD. Also, what are the metadata elements that are not currently being evaluated and how do you need to evaluate them? For example, will these elements be evaluated based on their naming/structure/data type or are there element value rules that need to implemented.  This will help determine whether you need to go through the effort of creating a custom XSD or if you can leverage custom XPATH expressions in the Metadata check.
