[eml-dev] EML Document Samples

[Matt Jones]

David is right, more there than you'll probably need at the KNB (> 20,000 at
last count).  They vary in quality and completeness.  I particularly
recommend the records from the GCE LTER site as examples, as the information
manager there creates excellent and complete metadata.  From the KNB, you
can download records in both an HTML format (more readable), and an XML
format (the actual structure of the EML).  Here are some example links for
an example GCE EML record in both formats:

HTML format:
  http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat/knb-lter-gce.109.10/knb

XML (EML) format:
  http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat/knb-lter-gce.109.10/xml
