Loading a Metadata File

You can display metadata for a datasource. Metadata describes the datasource by providing information about the content, the classification, or the owner, for example.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin:
  • Only metadata following ISO19115 standard is supported. For more information, see https://www.iso.org/standard/26020.html.
  • Only GeoJSON datasources with metadata are retrievable.
  • The metadata XML file should be part of a datasource. As such, the ENOVIA document contains the spatial data, optional sld and metadata files. To upload these files together, use City Upload Assistant.
