 MetaTools
is a suite of tools designed to aid the capture, management
and viewing of metadata in ArcGIS. It supports both
ISO and FGDC compliant metadata.
MetaTools contains batch dataset and metadata maintenance
tools and integrates seamlessly into the ArcCatalog
and ArcMap environment, allowing users to easily capture
and maintain important metadata for all ArcGIS supported
data types.
MetaTools is widely used in the Mineral Resource
Sector including such groups as BHP Billiton, Barrick
Gold and Gold Fields.

Introduction |
| |
 |
MetaTools is a customised metadata editor
designed to capture metadata for individual or multiple
datasets. A selected subset of FGDC and ISO metadata
fields are presented to the user and metadata fields
are grouped logically to aid ease of capture. Lookup
tables are used to ensure consistent data capture throughout
an organisation.
MetaTools includes a customised stylesheet that presents
metadata in an easy to understand format although
metadata created using MetaTools can be viewed in
any of the default metadata stylesheets such as the
FGDC or ISO stylesheets.
