Currently there is not a direct import from ArcMap metadata files. We still need to add a transformation stylesheet in place to do that. It is good to know that ArcMap does produce ISO metadata, but it does currently not produce a “clean” metadata files as used by GeoNetwork that can be imported directly. The ArcMap metadata files contain a lot of ESRI specific content and also contain FGDC content.
I am tele-working now, but tomorrow I will send you a small utility that can convert ArcMap metadata to GeoNetwork compliant ISO metadata and backwards.
Still, I would like you to do another test. On some Windows installations we have seen the error you describe below when validating metadata. We have so far not been able to track down the cause of that problem. Could you simply open one of the sample metadata (the Hydrobasins of Africa) and go to edit. When in edit mode, click “Check” and see if the same error occurs? Please let us know.
If you can, please check this on both the Windows XP as well as the Server 2003 machines. That would be of great help.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the inconvenience.
Greetings from Rome,

Thanks for your information, i have already read the documentation and that’s best working.
More question, when i try to insert or import the XML files, i get:
Error:
the requested operation could not be performed
Error on line 1: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element ‘metadata’it’s show on Batch Import and XML metadata insert. i get the XML from ArcMap and using iso19115 and fgdc as a standard.

Dear Syahmin,
I’m not sure this was answered or it got lost in the New Year’s holiday mail!?
Anyway, first of all, a happy new year to you!To come back to your question. The problem is related to the version of Java used by GeoNetwork. Version 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 require Java version 1.4 . When Java 1.5 is used, the error you faced is generated. There is a FAQ on the community website in the documentation center ( http://geonetwork.sourceforge.net) that explains how to go about this. I hope that will do the trick.
Good luck, let me know if you have more problems.
Kind regards,Jeroen
