All supported Geosoft spatial datasets, such as databases, maps, grids, voxels, etc., maintain metadata that describes the data in an XML file that is stored on the file system next to the file (or set of files for file types that use file sets).  The metadata XML file will have the name of the main dataset file with '.xml' appended.  

Metadata conforms to FGDC (https://www.fgdc.gov/metadata) and ISO 19139 (https://www.iso.org/standard/32557.html) and Geosoft.  The following XML file is used to configure the Geosoft metadata editor and provides the complete schema.  This can be used as a reference to manage metadata within applications.
