[eml-dev] Doubts about EML

[Mark Servilla]

Rafael,

James is absolutely correct.  Note that inline data is constrained to 
character data, so you may find it necessary to encode the raw binary 
data into its character representation before using the <inline> entity 
(refer to the normative documentation for <inline> at 
http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/eml-2.0.1/eml-physical.html#inline) 
for additional information.

Also, the attached diagram may be helpful.

Sincerely,
Mark

To make it available to users, I'm going to the web services paradigm, and make each laboratory a provider. And I intend to use a standard for the messages.
