------- Comment #3 from mob at icess.ucsb.edu  2008-10-01 12:17 -------
This bug is related to the discussions of what the root element "eml"
describes, and whether resources can be collections in addition to individual
documents. A solution may involve changes to other modules. See bugs #2076,
#1128, #3503

One other note:
If project.xsd were to move to a top-level module, then it would make use of
the resourceGroup. The change would affect all existing EML documents because
the structure for including party in project.xsd is with the <personnel>
element, an extension of the PartyType (with the added child, <role>):
eml/dataset/project/personnel 

In a resourceGroup, <personnel> is not available. The only element that has a
<role> child is <associatedParty> so project/personnel trees embedded in (e.g.)
datasets, will need to be transformed to 
eml/dataset/project/associatedParty
