Frequently asked question

When metadata already exists, and I import other metadata, are the new elements integrated?

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Answer

No. The importers provided by ArcCatalog replace any existing metadata with the new metadata document. Custom importers can either replace the existing metadata document or integrate the imported information into it.
