Open Standards


Esri has a long-standing commitment to standards and interoperability. That’s why ArcGIS supports more than 100 established standards including data formats, metadata, and services. We continue to work with many standards organizations to develop new standards and update existing ones.

Supporting your Data Formats

Esri gives you the ability to read and write to various data formats. Use Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) tools for data and schema migration.

Metadata


Metadata gives people a common way to understand geospatial data. Metadata standards provide a structure for creating and organizing metadata such as consistent terminology for catalogs and global search. Esri provides support for multiple metadata management options to meet specific needs or standards profiles.

We support these metadata standards.

  • ISO 19115
  • FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM)
  • Dublin Core
  • INSPIRE
  • DCAT

We also support custom metadata formats.
