Summary
Imports Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) metadata into an MGCP database to perform maintenance on cells and subregions.
Usage
The metadata can only be imported into an MGCP database that already contains the MGCP_Metadata feature dataset.
The input XML files must match the ISO 19139 specification and be compliant with TRD 2, TRD 3, and TRD 4.
Data is imported into the following feature classes using this tool:
- The Cell feature class contains metadata about individual 1x1-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.
Syntax
ImportMetadata(files, in_cell_features)
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
files [files,...] | The XML files that contain the metadata to import. | File |
in_cell_features | The Cell feature class where the metadata will be imported. | Feature Layer |
Code sample
Import Metadata example (stand-alone script)
In this example, the W118N32.xml file is imported into the MGCP_TRD2 geodatabase.
# Name: ImportMetadata_Example.py
# Description: Imports the metadata dataset from an XML file to a geodatabase
# Requirements: Defense Mapping extension
# Import arcpy module
import arcpy
# Check out a DefenseMapping extension license
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("defense")
# Local variables:
inFiles = "C:/Data/Defense/Metadata/W118N32.xml"
inCellFeatures= "C:/Data/Defense/MGCP_TRD3.mdb/MGCP_Metadata/Cell"
# Execute Import Metadata function
arcpy.ImportMetadata_defense(inFiles, inCellFeatures)
# Check in the Defense Mapping extension
arcpy.CheckInExtension("defense")
Environments
This tool does not use any geoprocessing environments.
