[eml-dev] DEIMS 2011 training session recordings online

[David Blankman]

Tomas Kliment and I were comparing the DEIMS entry tool with the EML schema. The DEIMS system allows for multiple rangeOfDates but both eml 2.01 and 2.1 allow only (1) not 1..*. 

ISO19115 (the basis of the European standard) does allow for 1..* for data ranges.

This raises the question whether eml should be modified or not or whether DEIMS should be modified or not?  What does DEIMS do if someone puts in multiple date ranges? 

Given the current eml schema, a dataset with gaps, lets say 1995- 2000 and then 2005-2010, could either be treated as 2 datasets or one with temporal coverage of 1995 - 2010? Is there a Best Practice guideline for this?
