Hello all -
There have been other suggestions/comments on possible ways to adapt EML
for sensor data (and also for real-time ongoing sensor data). Here is
the link to that discussion:
https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/1794
I suggest we a summary of this discussion to that thread.
Margaret
(I'll do it later today or this week, if there are no objections)
