           Summary: Data Manager throws exception for otherEntity when
                    attributeList is optionally omitted
           Product: EML
           Version: 2.1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2

The EML schema (2.x.y) specifies that all data entities be classified as one of
six different DatasetType types:

dataTable
spatialRaster
spatialVector
storedProcedure
view
otherEntity

Of these, only 'otherEntity' is allowed to optionally specify an
'attributeList' element; the other five entity types are required to specify an
'attributeList' element.

The Data Manager Library assumes that all data entities are required to include
the 'attributeList' element, throwing an exception whenever it is not
specified. The DML should change its behavior in accordance with the EML
schema, allowing 'attributeList' to be an optional element when the DatasetType
is 'otherEntity'.
