[eml-dev] Style Sheet for ESRI ARC SDE?

[Jonathan Walsh]

The batch exporting thing is alright - I think.  I should be able to
convert sgml to eml.  Looks easy.
 
so, batch export into sgml and we'll see what happens.
 
I'm interested in eml-dev comments about the tag information regarding
EMLMeasurementscale etc.
 
Thanks Jarlath
 
Jonathan

Jonathan,

Sorry to say that I am not familiar with any methods of getting FGDC
metadata in XML format to EML.  However, I do think I can help you with
the other two items.  Attributes fall under the tags eainfo > detailed >
attr > attrlabl.  Keep in mind that there are multiple attributes, thus
multiple 'attr' and 'attrlabl' tags under a single 'detailed' tag.  I
believe your best bet for the EMLMeasurementscale is 'horizpar' tag.
FGDC standards do not mandate it to be a number.  For our BES data we
could adjust it so that it always reflects a reference scale.  Finally,
please keep in mind that I can only batch export our metadata holdings
to either FGDC text or FGDC SGML formats.  I have no way of batch
exporting to FGDC XML.

Greetings,

 

Do you guys know of an XSLT to convert ESRI Arc SDE format metadata to
EML?

 

I suppose there are some fields in the ESRI file that are not called for
in eml.  I know there are fields called for in eml that are not given in
the ESRI file.  Attributelist and EMLMeasurementscale come to mind.  I
suppose I'd have to make a script to add those fields, as I have the
impression they are "required".  Any thoughts on that?

 

I've attached a sample.

 

Thanks,

 

Jonathan
