(r): Attribute or child element is required.

Description

Describes a metadata document in the metadata repository.

Notes

• See SEARCH_METADATA, GET_METADATA_DOCUMENT, and GET_ROOT_DATASET for request.
• Column names added through RESPONSE_COLUMN columnname become "custom attributes" in METADATA_DATASET. For example, if you include RESPONSE_COLUMN columnname="service_running", then in addition to the extisting attributes in METADATA_DATASET, a new attribute named service_running will always be returned as part of METADATA_DATASET. Please note the following:
  • If you are using a DTD, you must update METADATA_DATASET to account for these "custom attributes".
  • You cannot use a column name that replicates any existing attribute in METADATA_DATASET.

Attribute Descriptions for METADATA_DATASET

Attribute	Usage
children	Set to "true" if the dataset has children.
content	Metadata document content type.
docid	String used to uniquely identify a document. The client used to publish the metadata is responsible for creating the document ID. This ID is automatically assigned when using ArcCatalog. If another client is used, GET_UUID can be used to request a valid ID. The format for an ID is the following: {HHHHHHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHHHHHHHHHH} where H is a hexadecimal digit (0-9,a-f,A-F). The ID is limited to 38 characters.
folder	Set to "true" if the document represents a folder.
gnd	URL of a GND file on the server pointing to an ArcIMS service referenced by the metadata document.
index_status	This attribute has been deprecated since it no longer provides information about a document's status with respect to indexing. Any documents published in ArcIMS 9.0 or higher always have a NULL value in the database, which is reported as index_status="not indexed".
name	Name that identifies the dataset corresponding to the document.
onlink	A string identifying the location of the dataset corresponding to the document.
owner	Name identifying the owner of the metadata document.
private	Set to "false" if the document is viewable by all users. Set to "true" if viewable only by the owner.
refcount	Number of times the document is referenced in the hierarchy.
server	For documents describing GIS resources with the content type "Live Data and Maps", the URL for accessing the WMS service or the ArcIMS server containing data or metadata associated with the document, for example, http://mymachine.domain.com.
service	For documents describing ArcIMS Image, ArcMap Image, or Feature Services, the name of the service. For documents describing feature classes in a Feature service, the value also includes the name of the feature class and the type of geometry it contains.
servicetype	For documents describing ArcIMS Image, ArcMap Image, or Feature Services, the general type of service: "image" for Image or ArcMap Image services, and "feature" for Feature Services.
siblings	Set to "true" if the dataset has siblings.
thumbnail	URL of the thumbnail image.
updated	Last date the metadata record was updated. Format is YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.
