Ecological Metadata
Summary:
A collection of EML metadata documents linked using the eml-resource
"triple" element.
Description:
The "eml" element allows for the inclusion of arbitrary metadata
documents as child elements of a single document. There is
no validity constraint that restricts what metadata may be
present, although it is recommended that one (and only one)
metadata document that derives from eml-resource be included in
the set so that the "triple" element can be used to determine
the appropriate relationships among the various documents.
This is accomplished by explicitly stating the relationships by
referencing the "identifer" elements that are contained within
each metadata element. For example, one could indicate that
several uniquely identified data objects are a part of the data
package, and which of the various eml modules describe the entity,
attribute, and constraints for each of those data objects.
Example:
Please see the individual eml modules for specific examples.
Lineage:
The 'eml' element was introduced into EML 2.0.0.
