Add Metadata Translators

If you use metadata from a source that is not one of the common types (FGDC, ISO 19115/19139, ISO 19115-1/-2/-3, etc) then you may want to provide the ability to translate the metadata from that specific type to one of the common types or vice versa. This is particularly useful if in your situation you have different XML encoding of the information model for the metadata content. An example of this is when you use Geoportal Server in combination with ArcGIS Portal or ArcGIS Online. ArcGIS uses the ArcGIS XML encoding of metadata regardless of the content standard used.

The Geoportal Server provides an API to transform metadata between different XML encodings.

You can find the included encodings in the deployed Geoportal Server in \geoportal\WEB-INF\classes\metadata\xslt, while these files are here in the code repository.
