This topic describes how the current version of ArcGIS for Desktop can be used with a Metadata Service hosted by a previous version of ArcIMS.
Relationships establish links between metadata documents that describe related resources. With relationships, finding metadata for one resource with a search can lead you to other resources in which you might also be interested. For example, you might establish a relationship between metadata for a maps that cover adjacent areas.
When you create relationships between documents one at a time, the relationship is only established in one direction. That is, if you select image A and create a relationship to image B, image B won't also have a relationship to image A.
