project, methods, protocol

[Peter McCartney]

Tim et. al.

I cant figure out how to do the branch thing within cvs so im just doing
this through email. If you thinke this is no the right track, then ill make
a full version that works with all the schemas and get help to figure out
the branch submission.

As a trial balloon for the project/protocol bug, Ive made changes to
eml-project and eml-protocol, and ive created a new file called eml-method.

to summarize

eml-project loses sampling, but gains a recursive link to itself.

eml-method is a new module that is meant to be imported into dataset,
entitybase and attribute. It contains elements for sampling, qualityControl
(that is actions you took during data collection to control quality), and
methodsteps. each methodstep contains a description (which may  be any
combination of a text description, pointer to a citation, or pointer to a
protocol), instrumentation, source data, software.

eml-protocol is simplied to just a text description, with optional elements
for sofware, instrumentation or qualitycontrol (but not datasets, because we
cant really say a generic method requires a specific dataset). eml-protocol
is linked only in eml-method - existing links to
