EML metadata

[David Blankman]

Hi Cheryl,

We are in the process of converting LTER metadata into EML and the 
importing it into the knb metacat.


Here are some url's for sites that have dynamicly generated eml:
Georgia Coastal Ecosystem: 
http://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/lter/asp/db/data_catalog.asp
Andrews Experimental Forest: 
http://www.fsl.orst.edu/lter/data/mastercatalog.cfm?topnav=137
North Temperate Lakes: 
http://lterquery.limnology.wisc.edu/index.jsp?project_id=LTER1

The Georgia Coastal metadata is 100% valid eml, the Andrews metadata is 
also valid but may have some minor problems, the North Temperate Lakes 
metadata is close to valid eml but not yet complete.

In  a separate email, I will send you eml documents that we (LTER 
Network Office) have converted from legacy text-based metadata from 
several LTER sites.

Let me know if there are questions that you have.

David
