[eml-dev] EML, and JRN Rangeleand Monitoring project

[Margaret O'Brien]

Hi Christine -
I'm terribly sorry - this email slipped through the cracks. SBC had its 
site review in late October, and things got a little hectic. I visited 
the Rangeland Monitoring website - this sounds like a really interesting 
project, and seems to encompass areas of knowledge representation and 
semantics.

Given the scope and goals, Jason should be in touch with the EML 
development group and also with ecoinformatics programmers working on 
tools for that schema. So I am forwarding your email and Jason's summary 
to them. Since he mentions Morpho, I am assuming that Jason is already 
familiar with the ecoinformatics programming projects, but if not, more 
material and links can be found at the NCEAS web site 
(http://nceas.ucsb.edu). Also, I think that NCEAS already has 
collaborations with both the Nature Conservancy and USDA.

Again, sorry again for the delay in responding.
Best,
Margaret

Hi Margaret,
 
Jason Karl, a new postdoc with our USDA ARS collaborators at the 
Jornada, is investigating EML as a potential way to document data, data 
collection protocols or methods, and software. He would like to learn 
more about the most recent developments and since I know you've been 
active in this arena, I thought I would put him in touch with you. 
Please see his attached introduction to the project he has been working 
on for the past several years. I'm not sure what the best avenue for him 
would be to further explore EML and perhaps participate in future 
developments - could you point him down the correct path?
 
Thank you,
Christine
