Research protocol descriptors Container of all research projects in which context the dataset was created. eml-project elements describe various aspects of the research project within which researchers created the associated dataset. The association of a dataset with this project metadata is established in eml-dataset eml-project was introduced in EML 2.0. It replaces eml-research, which was introduced into EML 1.4 as replacement for eml-context. Unique identifier The unique identifier of this metadata file or object. The identifier field provides a unique identifier for this metadata documentation. It will most likely be part of a sequence of numbers or letters that are meaningful in a larger context, such as a metadata catalog. That larger system can be identified in the "system" attribute. Multiple identifiers can be listed corresponding to different catalog systems. nceas.3.2]]> The 'identifier' field is derived from the eml-dataset meta_file_id filed in EML 1.4. Catalog system The catalog system in which this identifier is used. This element gives the name of the catalog system in which this identifier is used. It is useful to determine the scope of the identifier, and to determine the semantics of the various subparts of the identifier. Unresolved issue: can or should this be a URI/URL pointing to the catalog system, or just the name? nceas.3.2]]> New to EML 2.0. Research project descriptor Descriptor of research project in which context the dataset was created. Research project element is a descriptor of various programmatic aspects within which researchers created this dataset. It can also include general research goals and motivations, data collection methods, equations, formulas. But see 'eml-protocol' for more areas to provide methodological detail. The researchProject element was introduced into EML 1.4. Project Title Title of the project. A descriptive title for the research project. Species diversity in Tennessee riparian habitats. Introduced into EML 1.4. Abstract Descriptive abstract. Descriptive abstract in paragraph of text. The abstract element was introduced into EML 1.4. Funding Funding information. Grant and contract numbers, names and addresses of funding sources described in paragraph of text. The funding element was introduced into EML 1.4.
