It is intended to provide overview information about the resource, including title, abstract, keywords, contacts, and the links to associated metadata and data for the given resource. Resource Base Generic information about any resource that is being described. The 'ResourceBase' complexType contains information that is inherited by each resource type that is being documented. The subelements with the resource base are common to al resources. Please see the examples within the sub-elements of the 'ResourceBase' complexType. The 'ResourceBase' element was introduced into EML 2.0. 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. Short Name A short name that describes the resource, sometimes a filename. The 'shortName' field provides a concise name that describes the resource that is being documented. It is the appropriate place to store a filename associated with other storage systems. vernal-data-1999 This element was derived from elements described in the ISO 19115.3 standard (iso-geo-md-2000June-draft). Title A brief description of the resource, providing enough detail to differentiate it from other similar resources. The 'title' field provides a description of the resource that is being documented that is long enough to differentiate it from other similar resources. Multiple titles may be provided, particularly when trying to express the title in more than one language (use the "xml:lang" attribute to indicate the language if not English/en). Vernal pool amphibian density data, Isla Vista, 1990-1996. This element was derived from elements described in the ISO 19115.3 standard (iso-geo-md-2000June-draft). Originator A person or organization asociated with this resource. The 'originator' element provides the full name of the person, organization, or position associated with the resource. Typically, the originator role is set to "owner" to indicate the list of parties who "own" the resource, but other roles such as "principal investigator", "author", and "editor" are provided. Please see the examples within the sub fields for the responsible party. This element was derived from elements described in the FGDC-STD-001.1-1999 standard (nbii-fgdc-std-001.1-1999) Publication date The publication date of the resource. The 'pubDate' field represents the date that the resource was published. The format should be represented as: CCYY-MM-DD, which denotes the full year, month, and day. 1999-10-26 This element was derived from elements described in the FGDC-STD-001.1-1999 standard (nbii-fgdc-std-001.1-1999) The type 'xs:date' folllows the date standard described in ISO 8601. Publication place The location that the resource was published. the 'pubPlace' field is the location where the resource was published, which may be different from where the resource was created. San Francisco, CA, USA This element was derived from elements described in the FGDC-STD-001.1-1999 standard (nbii-fgdc-std-001.1-1999) Series The series from which the resource came. This field describes the series of resources that include the resource being described. For example, a volume of a journal may be part of a series of the journal for a particular year. Volume 20 This element was derived from elements described in the FGDC-STD-001.1-1999 standard (nbii-fgdc-std-001.1-1999) and ISO 19115.3 standard (iso-geo-md-2000June-draft) Abstract A brief overview of the resource. This field provides a container for one or more paragraph fields that give a brief overview of the resource that is being documented. Please see the examples for the subfields contained within this field. This element was derived from elements described in the FGDC-STD-001.1-1999 standard (nbii-fgdc-std-001.1-1999) Abstract paragraph The paragraph field for the text in an abstract. This field is intended for the text of an abstract that gives a brief overview of the resource. There may be one or more paragraphs within the abstract. The major unanswered question in marine ecology is the degree of connectedness between local populations. Put another way, what proportion of young arriving into a local population are products of local production? What is the source of recruits for any local population, and where do the young produced in a local population go? The answers to these questions are unknown for any widespread species with a pelagic dispersal phase. Proper marine management depends on knowledge in this area: the efficacy of any reserve design, for example, is highly dependent on the degree to which it is dependent on other populations for recruitment, and the degree to which it supplies other areas. This field was introduced into EML 2.0, and was derived from EML 1.3. Keyword information Keyword information that describes the resource. The 'keywordSet' element is a container for the 'keyword' and 'keywordThesaurus' fields. Each keywordSet field can contain one or more keywords and a name of a thesaurus for the set of keywords. Please see the examples for the subfields contained within this field. This element was derived from elements described in the FGDC-STD-001.1-1999 standard (nbii-fgdc-std-001.1-1999) Keyword A keyword that describes the resource. This field names a keyword or keyphrase that concisely describes the resource or is related to the resource. biodiversity This field was introduced into EML 2.0 beta 1, and was derived from EML 1.3. and the ISO 19115.3 standard (iso-geo-md-2000June-draft). Keyword type The type of each keyword. This field classifies the keyword that has been provided from a list of pre-determined categories. The possible types are listed in the example. "discipline","place","stratum","temporal","thematic", or "taxonomic" This field was introduced into EML 2.0, and was derived from EML 1.3. and the ISO 19115.3 standard(iso-geo-md-2000June-draft). Keyword thesaurus The name of a thesaurus from which the keyword is derived. This field provides the name of the official keyword thesaurus from which keyword was derived. The keyword thesauri are usually discipline specific.
