[eml-dev] EML working group proposal for LTER ASM

[Margaret O'Brien]

Hello all -
EML 2.1.0 is released as you know, but resources limited what features 
we were able to add. So this means that many enhancements suggested in 
the past have barely been discussed.  Several scientific groups have 
expressed an interest in working further with EML for their data types-- 
for example the.genome sequencing and GIS communities, and the NEON 
network.  Those working with techniques for semantic annotation are also 
interested.  So it is clear that we should get some discussions going on 
the directions the EML specification might take.

A good proportion of eml-dev will be at the LTER All Scientists Meeting 
in Estes Park in September, as will members of several scientific 
communities. This makes that meeting a great venue to start this 
discussion.  Mark Shildhauer, Matt Jones and I will be putting in a 
proposal for a working group at that meeting.

Advance meeting registration runs till July 15. But after July 1, 
lodging reservations are not guaranteed (which is why I am alerting you 
now). I will send the working group proposal to this list by July 1.

Best regards,
Margaret O'Brien
