eml-project
The EML Project Module describes the research context
in which the dataset was created, including description
of over-all motivations and goals, funding, personnel, etc.
This is also the module to describe over-all sampling methods
for the project.
Research protocol descriptors
Container of all research projects in which context the
dataset was created.
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
eml-project was introduced in EML 2.0. It replaces eml-research, which was
introduced into EML 1.4 as replacement for eml-context.
Unique identifier
The unique identifier of this metadata file or object.
The identifier field provides a unique identifier for this
metadata documentation. It will most likely be part of a
sequence of numbers or letters that are meaningful in a
larger context, such as a metadata catalog. That larger
system can be identified in the "system" attribute. Multiple
identifiers can be listed corresponding to different catalog
systems.
nceas.3.2]]>
The 'identifier' field is derived from the eml-dataset
meta_file_id filed in EML 1.4.
Catalog system
The catalog system in which this identifier is used.
This element gives the name of the catalog system in which
this identifier is used. It is useful to determine the
scope of the identifier, and to determine the semantics
of the various subparts of the identifier. Unresolved issue:
can or should this be a URI/URL pointing to the catalog
system, or just the name?
nceas.3.2]]>
New to EML 2.0.
Research project descriptor
Descriptor of research project in which context
the dataset was created.
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.
The researchProject element was introduced into EML 1.4.
Project Title
Title of the project.
A descriptive title for the research project.
Species diversity in Tennessee riparian habitats.
Introduced into EML 1.4.
Originator
The party who created the research project.
The party who created the research project.
FGDC-STD-001.1-1999 (nbii-fgdc-std-001.1-1999)
Geographical coverage
Geographical coverage of the site of the project.
This element is to specify the geographical coordinates
of the site of the project: latitude and longitude.
The geographicCoverage element was introduced into EML 1.4.
Abstract
Descriptive abstract.
Descriptive abstract in paragraph of text.
The abstract element was introduced into EML 1.4.
Funding
Funding information.
Grant and contract numbers, names and addresses of
funding sources described in paragraph of text.
The funding element was introduced into EML 1.4.
Site description
Site description.
Description of the site of the project. It is intended to include
general descriptions of the habitiat in paragraph form. Likewise,
information on geography, geology, hydrology, history, and climate
should be included here if desired.
The siteDescription element was introduced into EML 1.4.
Experimental or Sampling design
Experimental or Sampling design of the project
Experimental or Sampling design: the design method, plots,
samplings, descriptive paragraph of text or citation from
a source.
The designDescription element was introduced into EML 1.4.
Temporal sampling regime
Temporal sampling regime
Information necessary to understand temporal sampling regime:
temporal boundaries, frequency of occurrence,
descriptive paragraph of text or citation from a source.
The sampling element was introduced into EML 1.4.
Temporal Coverage
Information on the periods of time that sampling took
place
Information necessary to understand temporal sampling regime:
temporal boundaries, frequency of occurrence,
descriptive paragraph of text or citation from a source.
The sampling element was introduced into EML 1.4.
Sampling frequency
Information on the rate of sampling
The frequency field is intended to document the sampling
rate for the specific method employed.
The sampling element was introduced into EML 1.4.
