The DEIMS system allows for multiple rangeOfDates but both eml 2.01 and 2.1 allow only (1) not 1..*. <div><br></div><div>ISO19115 (the basis of the European standard) does allow for 1..* for data ranges.</div><div><br></div><div>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? </div><div><br></div><div>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?</div><div><br></div><div>David</div><div><br><div>
