Hi everybody!
I have a question I guess some of you might answer. I'm populating a my newly installed geoportal with serveral datasets, using the add-in for ArcCatalog. The metadata style configured in ArcCatalog are ISO 19139. Since it's important for the users to know where the data comes from, I've inserted a path to the data in "Distribution Information -> Digital Transfer Options -> Online Resource and Linkage". The upload works fine and I can approve the dataset in geoportal. However, if I try to view the metadata in geoportal, the information from linkage (the path) does not show.

I have tried creating metadata from within geoportal, with the ISO 19115 (is this the same as ISO 19139?). When I insert my datapath in distribution -> transferoptions -> URL, it work correctly.

To sum up... Linkage URL does not show up when using ISO 19139 (ArcCatalog), and works with metadata created in geoportal (ISO 19115). Does anyone know why the information does'nt show up when using ISO 19139? Is it possible to use ISO 19115 in ArcCatalog?

I'm finding the same thing, and I've logged it on the Geoportal Server GitHub page as Linkage URL does not show when publishing from ArcCatalog to Geoportal Server · Issue #229 · Esri/ge...

The answer to your second question "Is it possible to use ISO 19115 in ArcCatalog?" is yes. You can set the format for the metadata view you are looking at in ArcCatalog using the following steps:

- Under main menu go to Customize -> ArcCatalog Options

- Go to the "Metadata" Tab

- Under "Metadata style" select the type of metadata you would like to use

You can also add Metadata tools to your ArcCatalog toolbar using the following steps:

- right click somewhere on your ArcCatalog toolbar

- select "Customize" from the pop-up menu

- Go to the "Commands" Tab

- Scroll down the list and Select "Metadata"

- From the right hand list, select the tools you would like and drag them to the Toolbar

Using this method you can add buttons to your toolbar for Metadata validation, and Metadata Export. The latter is very helpful if you want to export a different format of metadata from your standard format (whatever that is).

Hello,

I was seeing similar when exporting ArcGIS style metadata to ISO 19139.  None of my Online Linkages of the https:// variety would export out!  After some digging into the ArcGIS2ISO19139.xsl that supports this transformation, I saw what looked like a dependency on online linkages being provided as either http or ftp.  I change my https:// to http:// and my online linkages now export.

If you're still looking for a solution or work-around, perhaps this would help?
