ArcObjects Metadata Property Names

Written by Bert Granberg,

If you use the IMetadata.Metadata property in ArcMap or ArcCatalog through VBA, you get an IXMLPropertySet object back which has a whole slew of metadata element properties.

I derived my list programmatically from data in our SDE database. Now that I think about it, the set of properties probably varies depending on the metadata choices made for the feature class from which I derived the list and probably also the metadata style (iso or fgdc).

Here is the property list that I was able to generate:

Esri/CreaDate
Esri/CreaTime
Esri/SyncOnce
Esri/SyncDate
Esri/SyncTime
Esri/ModDate
Esri/ModTime
Esri/DataProperties/lineage/Process
Esri/MetaID
