"Old" FDGC XML Metadata Format Translator

If there is anyone left out there that is handcuffed to the following as we are:

1.  The need to author and publish FGDC metadata
2.  A workflow that supports the "old" FGDC xml format in ArcCatalog
3.  The need to display that in a human readable format (HTML)

This post is for you.  I recently wrote a simple Add-in for ArcCatalog that translates the "old" or "classic" FDGC Metadata XML Format to classic html or FAQ html.  Basically, it is the same functionality that was offered in 9.3.  For most folks, this tool may be unneeded given the new metadata framework in ArcGIS 10 but if you are still using the "old" workflow and FGDC metadata editor, this will be helpful given that the ArcGIS 10 export does not have translators for the old FDGC XML format.



For installation, simply follow the instructions in the ArcGIS Desktop help system for installing and using Add-ins.
