Software Defines a software distribution. The 'softwarePackage' element contains general information about a software resource that is being documented. This field is intended to give information for software tools that are needed to interpret a dataset, software that was written to process a resource, or software as a resource in itself. It is based on eml-resource and Open Software Description (OSD) a W3C submission. Please see the examples for each subelement of the 'softwarePackage' type. The softwarePackage Element was introduced in 2.0.0 beta 9. It replaces the software element. The 'software' element was introduced into EML 2.0, however it was derived from the eml-software module in EML 1.4. Implementation describes the hardware and operating system the package runs on. Note a package can have multiple implementations. So for example a package may be written in java and the 'package' may run on numerous hardware and operating systems like Pentium/Linux, Pentium/NT and so on... Hardware and Software descriptions that have different constraints can be placed here. Please see the examples for each subelement of the 'implementation' type. The implementation Element was introduced in 2.0.0 beta 9. Version of the software being packaged. String value corresponding to the major, minor, custom, and build version xs:annotation The implementation Element was introduced in 2.0.0 beta 9.
