One of the stranger things that mp does is try to fix certain problems in your metadata that might exist because the metadata was written to conform to the 1994 version of the FGDC standard.
Data_Set_G-Polygon_Outer_G-Ring = 4{G-Ring_Latitude + G-Ring_Longitude}n Data_Set_G-Polygon_Exclusion_G-Ring = 4{G-Ring_Latitude + G-Ring_Longitude}nThe 1998 standard provides two new elements to handle these, G-Ring_Point or G-Ring:
Data_Set_G-Polygon_Outer_G-Ring = [4{G-Ring_Point}n | G-Ring] Data_Set_G-Polygon_Exclusion_G-Ring = [4{G-Ring_Point}n | G-Ring] G-Ring_Point = G-Ring_Latitude + G-Ring_LongitudeWhile examining Data_Set_G-Polygon_Outer_G-Ring and Data_Set_G-Polygon_Exclusion_G-Ring if mp finds more than one G-Ring_Latitude, it attempts to create a single G-Ring element to hold the ordered coordinate pairs.
Keywords = Theme + (Place) + (Stratum) + (Temporal) Theme = 1{Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Theme_Keyword}n }n Place = 1{Place_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Place_Keyword}n }n Stratum = 1{Stratum_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Stratum_Keyword}n }n Temporal = 1{Temporal_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Temporal_Keyword}n }nThe 1998 standard replaces this with
Keywords = 1{Theme}n + 0{Place}n + 0{Stratum}n + 0{Temporal}n Theme = Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Theme_Keyword}n Place = Place_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Place_Keyword}n Stratum = Stratum_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Stratum_Keyword}n Temporal = Temporal_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Temporal_Keyword}n
Point_and_Vector_Object_Information = [SDTS_Terms_Description | VPF_Terms_Description] SDTS_Terms_Description = 1{SDTS_Point_and_Vector_Object_Type + (Point_and_Vector_Object_Count) }nThe 1998 standard replaces this with
Point_and_Vector_Object_Information = [1{SDTS_Terms_Description}n | VPF_Terms_Description] SDTS_Terms_Description = SDTS_Point_and_Vector_Object_Type + (Point_and_Vector_Object_Count)
VPF_Terms_Description = VPF_Topology_Level + 1{VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Type + (Point_and_Vector_Object_Count)}nThe 1998 standard added a new element VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Information and has
VPF_Terms_Description = VPF_Topology_Level + 1{VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Information}n VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Information = VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Type + (Point_and_Vector_Object_Count)
Detailed_Description = 1{Entity_Type + 0{Attribute}n }nThe 1998 standard replaces this with
Detailed_Description = Entity_Type + 0{Attribute}n
Enumerated_Domain = 1{Enumerated_Domain_Value + Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition + Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source + 0{Attribute}n }nIn the 1998 standard, the intent was to write this as
Enumerated_Domain = Enumerated_Domain_Value + Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition + Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source + 0{Attribute}n
Attribute_Domain_Values = [Enumerated_Domain | Range_Domain | Codeset_Domain | Unrepresentable_Domain] Enumerated_Domain = 1{Enumerated_Domain_Value + Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition + Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source + 0{Attribute}n }nIn the 1998 standard, the intent was to write this as
Attribute_Domain_Values = [Enumerated_Domain | Range_Domain | Codeset_Domain | Unrepresentable_Domain] Enumerated_Domain = Enumerated_Domain_Value + Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition + Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source + 0{Attribute}n
Attribute = Attribute_Label + Attribute_Definition + Attribute_Definition_Source + 1{Attribute_Domain_Values}n + 0{Attribute_Units_of_Measure}1 + (Attribute_Measurement_Resolution) + (1{Beginning_Date_of_Attribute_Values + 0{Ending_Date_of_Attribute_Values}1}n ) + (Attribute_Value_Accuracy_Information) + (Attribute_Measurement_Frequency)The 1998 standard moves two of those elements into Range_Domain
Range_Domain = Range_Domain_Minimum + Range_Domain_Maximum + 0{Attribute_Units_of_Measure}1 + (Attribute_Measurement_Resolution) + 0{Attribute}n
Metadata = Identification_Information + 0{Data_Quality_Information}1 + 0{Spatial_Data_Organization_Information}1 + 0{Spatial_Reference_Information}1 + 0{Entity_and_Attribute_Information}1 + 0{Distribution_Information}1 + Metadata_Reference_Information Distribution_Information = 1{Distributor + 0{Resource_Description}1 + Distribution_Liability + 0{Standard_Order_Process}n + 0{Custom_Order_Process}1 + (Technical_Prerequisites) + (Available_Time_Period) }nThe 1998 standard replaces this with
Metadata = Identification_Information + 0{Data_Quality_Information}1 + 0{Spatial_Data_Organization_Information}1 + 0{Spatial_Reference_Information}1 + 0{Entity_and_Attribute_Information}1 + 0{Distribution_Information}n + Metadata_Reference_Information Distribution_Information = Distributor + 0{Resource_Description}1 + Distribution_Liability + 0{Standard_Order_Process}n + 0{Custom_Order_Process}1 + (Technical_Prerequisites) + (Available_Time_Period)
Multiple_Dates/Times = 2{Calendar_Date + (Time_of_Day) }nThe 1998 standard replaces this with
Single_Date/Time = Calendar_Date + (Time_of_Day) Multiple_Dates/Times = 2{Single_Date/Time}n
