Use eml-project to document the research context of any dataset or project. no research project The root element of this module. The root element of this module. This is used for testing or if you want to instantiate a stand-alone project file. Research project descriptor Descriptor of a research context for a dataset or another project. The researchProject complex type describes the structure for documenting the research context of a dataset or another project. It can include research goals, motivations, theory, hypotheses, etc., as well as a description of research efforts that form the basis for other work. (To document methods specific to a dataset use eml-methods.) This field can be associated with a dataset using the project field of eml-dataset, and can be associated with another project using the relatedProject field of eml-project (this module). Project Title Title of the project. A descriptive title for the research project. Species diversity in Tennessee riparian habitats. Personnel Contact and role information for people involved in the research project. The Personnel field extends ResponsibleParty with role information and is used to document people involved in a research project by providing contact information and their role in the project. Role Role information for people involved in the research project. The role field contains information about role a person plays in a research project. There are a number of suggested roles, however, it is possible to add a role if the suggested roles are not adequate. author contentProvider custodianSteward distributor editor metadataProvider originator owner pointOfContact principalInvestigator processor publisher user fieldStationManager informationManager Abstract Project Abstract. Descriptive abstract that summarizes information about the research project. Funding Funding information. The funding field is used to provide general information about the funding for a project, generally in prose form. This field is included for historical compatibility, and has been augmented by the award field that provides structured information about funding included. Award information Award information. The award field is used to provide specific information about the funding awards for a project in a structured format. Sub-fields are provided for the name of the funding agency, the Open Funder Registry identifiers for the agency and program that made the award, the award number assigned, the title of the award, and the URL to the award page describing the award. The award field replaces the earlier funding field from prior EML version releases. In general, the funding agency should be listed with a cross-reference to the appropriate identifier from the Open Funder Registry (included in the EML distribution, but which is also update periodically from the Open Funder Registry). Description of the study area. Description of the physical area associated with the research project, potentially including coverage, climate, geology, disturbances, etc. The studyAreaDescription field documents the physical area associated with the research project. It 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 disturbances or reference to citable biological or geophysical classification systems such as the Bailey Ecoregions or the Holdridge Life Zones. Non-coverage characteristics of the study area Description of non-coverage characteristics of the study area such as climate, geology, disturbances The descriptor field is used to document domains (themes) of interest such as climate, geology, soils or disturbances or references to citable biological or geophysical classification systems such as the Bailey Ecoregions or the Holdridge Life Zones. Description of some aspect of the study area. Description of some aspect of the study area. The descriptorValue field contains the value of a descriptor, describing some aspect of the study area. 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". 12.5 inches tundra-forest The name or ID of a descriptor value. The name part of a name/value pair of a descriptor; or ID portion of a classification, if applicable. The name_or_id field is the name part of a name/value pair of a descriptor; or ID portion of a classification, if applicable. The values of biogeophysical classification systems, e.g. Bailey-Ecoregions, often take the form of an ID or Code along with a text representation. 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". M131 Average Annual Rainfall citation A citation for this descriptor. A citation for this descriptor. name The name of the descriptor system. The name of the descriptor system. The name can be either a theme such as climate or hydrology, or the name of a citable classification system. citation classification system This boolean attribute defines whether this descriptor comes from a citable classification system or not. This boolean attribute defines whether this descriptor comes from a citable classification system or not. citation The citation for this descriptor. The citation for this descriptor. coverage The coverage of this descriptor. The coverage of this descriptor. Description of research design Description of the design of the research project The field designDescription contains general textual descriptions of research design. It can include detailed accounts of goals, motivations, theory, hypotheses, strategy, statistical design, and actual work. Literature citations may also be used to describe the research design. Description of research design Textual description of research design. The field designDescription contains general textual descriptions of research design. It can include detailed accounts of goals, motivations, theory, hypotheses, strategy, statistical design, and actual work. Citation for research design Citation that describes the research design. The citation field is a citation to literature that describes elements of the research design, such as goals, motivations, theory, hypotheses, strategy, statistical design, and actual work. related project This field is a recursive link to another project. This field is a recursive link to another project. This allows projects to be nested under one another for the case where one project spawns another. AwardType Information about a funding award. resource.

The AwardType is used to enter information about a funding award associated with a project. The containing project contains the list of investigators and for the award, while the `award` field contains specifics such as the agency name, award number, and funding program identifiers.

Please see the examples within each subfield. Funder Name The name of the funding institution that made this award The name of the funding institution, with fully expanded acronyms to show the full, official name of the funding agency. In general, this should match the official name of the funder as listed in an Authority such as the Open Funder Registry. The Open Funder Registry and other organizational authorities may provide a list of other alternative names for the funding agency. National Science Foundation Funder identifier The identifier of the funding agency. The funder identifier is used to provide one or more canonical identifiers that reference the funder. These identifiers should be globally unique. The most common form of a funder identifier is a DOI identifier of an institution or program drawn from the CrossRef Open Funder Registry (https://github.com/Crossref/open-funder-registry), which assigns DOIs to each funding agency and to their programs, and links these together in a navigable hierarchy. A copy of the current Funder Registry is included as an RDF file with EML for reference, but as the list is constantly growing, users can retrieve new copies of the RDF file to get updates and current metadata about funders. http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100000001 Award Number The assigned award number. The awardNumber field provides the unique identifier used by the funder to uniquely identify an award. These are typically alphanumeric values that are unique within the system used by a given funder. The number should be listed using the canonical form that each funder uses to express its award numbers, and not be prefixed or postfixed with extra text such as the acronym of the funder or the name of the funder, which is available instead in the funderName field. 1546024 Title The title of the award. The title field is used for the title of the award or grant being described. Scientia Arctica: A Knowledge Archive for Discovery and Reproducible Science in the Arctic Award URL The URL associated with award. Typically, the awardUrl is use to find and locate the award, and generally addresses the internet location to find out more information about the award. This should point to a funder site for the award, rather than a project site. https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1546024 Descriptor Theme Type The type of descriptor theme or the name of a classification system. The DescriptorType is used to represent either the name of a citable classification system/controlled vocabulary such as the Bailey classification of ecoregions or a domain of physical descriptors such as climate or disturbances. climate soils hydrology "bailey" biome disturbance geology
