ArcGIS for Desktop empowers Desktop users to create content for multiple metadata standards.
To ensure users can meet the Australian New Zealand Land Information Council (ANZLIC) Standards, Esri Australia has released a special Metadata Editing Tool – a customised version of the existing ArcCatalog metadata entry interface.
The Metadata Editing Tool accommodates the ANZLIC metadata mandatory profile plus approximately 50 optional elements, and also streamlines and simplifies metadata entry. Metadata users can leverage the tool to configure custom pick lists and set default values for ANZLIC profile specific elements.
Metadata can be validated and exported to an ANZLIC compliant XML file and easily published from your local desktop to the Geoportal Server or other Catalog Servers.
