Thierry,

Are you part of LTER-Europe or ExpeER? Do you work with Jacques Roy?

In any case, we are using DEIMS (Drupal Ecological Informaion Management
System) to create EML.  Shortly, you should receive an email with a user
name and password so the you can check out our site.

This is a new system, so that there are only a few datasets, but we do have
an extensive site information database.

This system will create EML and then harvest it into the LTER-Europe
metacat which will become a DataOne node.

As to your central question, IPT has a limited amount of fields, and is
geared to describing species observations.

Even if you are not part of LTER-Europe, your site is welcome to use the
LTER-Europe metacat.

Let me know what your data is like, and I can help you think through your
options.

David
