This is possibly related to my other issue https://github.com/Esri/geoportal-server/issues/227 whereby properties set in ArcCatalog are not being "pushed" through to Esri Geoportal Server via the Publish add-in.
I've inserted a path to the data in "Distribution Information -> Digital Transfer Options -> Online Resource and Linkage". The upload works fine and I can approve the dataset in geoportal. However, if I try to view the metadata in geoportal, the information from linkage (the path) does not show.
I have tried creating metadata from within geoportal... When I insert my datapath in distribution -> transferoptions -> URL, it works correctly.
It seems that some properties configured in the ArcCatalog metadata editor are not being correctly sent to Esri Geoportal Server via the Publish add-in. The workaround is to set them directly using the Esri Geoportal Server metadata editor, but this negates the end-to-end benefits of using ArcCatalog.

The details are the same as the issue logged at https://geonet.esri.com/thread/87328:

Thanks for any advice, Steve
