           Summary: EML2 Data Source problems with local metadata/data
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 1.0.0beta2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

There are several problems with using the EML DataSource actor with local EML
metadata and associated data files.

First of all, the parameter where one sets the local EML file apparently
requires the full path and Kepler expressions cannot by used. One thus cannot
set the path with expressions, meaning that using on different machines is
impossible.

Secondly, the paths in the EML that link to the local data apparently require
'file:.." urls with a complete path. This requires hand editing of the eml
(Morpho output will not work) and is machine specific.
