One of the stranger things that mp does is try to fix certain problems in your metadata that might exist because the metadata was written to conform to the 1994 version of the FGDC standard.
Data_Set_G-Polygon_Outer_G-Ring =
4{G-Ring_Latitude + G-Ring_Longitude}n
Data_Set_G-Polygon_Exclusion_G-Ring =
4{G-Ring_Latitude + G-Ring_Longitude}n
The 1998 standard provides two new elements to handle these, G-Ring_Point or G-Ring:
Data_Set_G-Polygon_Outer_G-Ring =
[4{G-Ring_Point}n | G-Ring]
Data_Set_G-Polygon_Exclusion_G-Ring =
[4{G-Ring_Point}n | G-Ring]
G-Ring_Point =
G-Ring_Latitude +
G-Ring_Longitude
While examining Data_Set_G-Polygon_Outer_G-Ring and Data_Set_G-Polygon_Exclusion_G-Ring
if mp finds more than one G-Ring_Latitude, it attempts to create a single G-Ring element to hold the ordered coordinate pairs.
Keywords =

Theme =
1{Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Theme_Keyword}n }n
Place =

Stratum =
1{Stratum_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Stratum_Keyword}n }n
Temporal =
1{Temporal_Keyword_Thesaurus + 1{Temporal_Keyword}n }n
The 1998 standard replaces this with
Keywords =
1{Theme}n +
0{Place}n +
0{Stratum}n +
0{Temporal}n
Theme =
Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus +

SDTS_Terms_Description =

The 1998 standard replaces this with

VPF_Terms_Description]
SDTS_Terms_Description =
SDTS_Point_and_Vector_Object_Type +

VPF_Terms_Description =
VPF_Topology_Level +
1{VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Type +
(Point_and_Vector_Object_Count)}n
The 1998 standard added a new element VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Information and has
VPF_Terms_Description =
VPF_Topology_Level +
1{VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Information}n
VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Information =
VPF_Point_and_Vector_Object_Type +

The 1998 standard replaces this with

0{Attribute}n
Enumerated_Domain =
1{Enumerated_Domain_Value +
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition +
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source +
0{Attribute}n }n
In the 1998 standard, the intent was to write this as
Enumerated_Domain =
Enumerated_Domain_Value +
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition +
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source +
0{Attribute}n
Attribute_Domain_Values =
[Enumerated_Domain |

Enumerated_Domain =
1{Enumerated_Domain_Value +
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition +
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition_Source +

In the 1998 standard, the intent was to write this as
Attribute_Domain_Values =

Enumerated_Domain =

(1{Beginning_Date_of_Attribute_Values +
0{Ending_Date_of_Attribute_Values}1}n ) +
(Attribute_Value_Accuracy_Information) +
(Attribute_Measurement_Frequency)
The 1998 standard moves two of those elements into Range_Domain
Range_Domain =
Range_Domain_Minimum +
Range_Domain_Maximum +
0{Attribute_Units_of_Measure}1 +
(Attribute_Measurement_Resolution) +

The 1998 standard replaces this with

The 1998 standard replaces this with

Multiple_Dates/Times =
2{Single_Date/Time}n
FGDC-STD-001, it is set to FGDC-STD-001-1998.
