eml-distribution
This schema defines how a resource is to be distributed outside
of it's home institution.
Resource Distribution Information
eml-distribution describes the methods by which a resource can be
distributed from it's home institution.
the distribution module contains fields to define the online and offline transfer information for a resource. The online transfer is just a URL, and the offline transfer describes media information for reading the file.
From NBII.
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?

New to EML 2.0.
