more about EML
Due to the complexity of EML we choose those EML elements which are provided by the Morpho tool (http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/dist/MorphoUserGuide.pdf) offering the minimum amount of documentation necessary for the description of a data package in EML.
These are:
• Title and Abstract (Description)
• Keywords
• Owner/Contact (People and Organizations)
• Usage Rights
• Coverage Details (geographical, temporal, taxonomic)
• Methods
