Description:
Description of the physical location of the
research project. Can include descriptions of the geographic,
temporal, and taxonomic coverage of the research location and
descriptions of domains (themes) of interest such as climate,
geology, soils or distrubances or reference to citable biological
or geophysical classification systems such as the "Bailey..." or
the ... The descriptions may be either general descriptions in
textual form or specific values for named theme attributes such
as average rainfall. The "studyArea" is, in most cases, a larger
geographical area than the coverage represented in the
"designDescription", that is, studyArea represents the
environmental context of the specific coverages described in
"designDescription"

Description:
The value of a descriptor. This may
either be a general description in textual form or
the value part of a "name/value" pair where the name
is entered in the attribute "name_or_id". For
example, if the value of the "name" attribute" of the
element "descriptor" is "climate", and the value of
the attribute "name_or_id" of the element
"descriptorValue" is "Annual Precipitation" then the
value of this element could be "12.5
inches".
Example:
12.5 inches, tundra-forest

Description:
The name part of a
name/value pair of a descriptor or ID
portion, if applicable of a classification.
The values of biogeophysical classification
systems, e.g. Bailey-Ecoregions, often take
the form of an ID or Code along with a text
representaiton. For example, the ID/Code M131
refers to the phrase "Open Woodland -Tundra".
M131 is an unambiguous reference to a more
detailed description. If one is using a
published classification system then there
should be a corresponding citation to the
source, e.g., Bailey,R.G., 1996 "Ecosystem
Geography".
Example:
M131,Average

Description:
Research project element is a descriptor of various
programmatic aspects within which researchers created this dataset. It
can also include general research goals and motivations, data
collection methods, equations, formulas. But see 'eml-protocol' for
more areas to provide methodological detail. eml-project elements
describe various aspects of the research project within which
researchers created the associated dataset. The association of a
dataset with this project metadata is established in
eml-dataset

Description:
The descriptorType is used to represent either the
name of a citable classification system/controlled vocabulary such as
the "Bailey" classification of ... or a domain of physical descriptors
such as climate or disturbances.
Example:
climate, soils, hydrology, "bailey", biome, disturbance,
geology
