Does anyone know of a tool or script to automate FGDC standard metadata for ArcGIS? I would like to be able to select multiple feature classes and fill company info., dates, etc.

In case if you will not find any easy solution here is one possible python way:

  1. Export metadata to XML file using Export Metadata (Conversion) tool.
  2. Modify metadata in XML file. There are many solutions for this task in Python. For example, you can use xml.etree.ElementTree.
  3. Import metadata from XML to your featureclass using Import Metadata (Conversion) tool.
