Export MGCP Metadata (Topographic Production Tools)

Summary

Exports a Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) or MGCP Urban Vector Data (MUVD) metadata dataset (Cell or ResourceSrf, Subregion, and Source feature classes) to an .xml file.

Usage

  • One .xml file is created for each Cell or ResourceSrf feature that is selected. If none are selected, one .xml file is created for each feature in the Cell or ResourceSrf feature class.

  • The Cell or ResourceSrf feature class must be named Cell or ResourceSrf, respectively.

  • The XML schema matches the ISO 19139 specification and is compliant with MGCP or MUVD Technical Reference Documents (TRDs).

  • The metadata file contains information from the MGCP_Metadata or MUVD_Metadata datasets that are part of an MGCP or MUVD database.

  • The following feature classes are exported to an .xml file using this tool:

    • The Cell or ResourceSrf feature class contains metadata about individual 1 by 1 decimal degree extents with which the data is associated.

    • The Subregion feature class contains metadata about the specific area within the cell where the data meets requirements for a specific purpose.

    • The Source feature class supplies information about the source used in the feature extraction.
