2621 ESRI Persistent Auxiliary Metadata File GIS The ESRI Persistent Auxiliary Metadata File is a format produced by ArcGIS software, which accompanies the raster file (and sits alongside it). lnformation for the raster dataset, such a statistics, tables, histograms and co-ordinates, is stored in this auxiliary file if it cannot be stored internally. The files have the extension .aux.xml, but due to limitations of PRONOM, have been added with extension.xml as well as aux.xml. 234 National Library of Australia / National Library of Australia 22 Sep 2022 22 Sep 2022 fmt/1771 PUID xml File extension aux.xml File extension 2109 Esri Persistent Auxiliary Metadata File BOF offset 0-30, magic bytes: <PAMDataset>(10-200)<Metadata domain="ESRI"|"Esri"> EOF, offset 0-1:</PAMDataset> 1 Absolute from BOF 0 30 3C50414D446174617365743E{10-200}3C4D6574616461746120646F6D61696E3D22(4553524922|4573726922)3E 1 Absolute from EOF 0 1 3C2F50414D446174617365743E Has priority over 638 Extensible Markup Language
