Clients for Metadata Publishers
The Publish Client is a tool for ArcCatalog that lets you easily publish metadata from your local desktop to the geoportal. The metadata can come from shapefiles, personal geodatabases, enterprise geodatabases, or any other local data formats for which you can create metadata in ArcCatalog. For publishing metadata from ArcIMS Metadata Services, we recommend setting up a synchronization schedule using the ArcGIS for Server Geoportal extension synchronization capabilities.
ArcGIS for Desktop 10 is required to install the Publish Client.
