Bug #471
eml spec overview document
0%
Description
Need an overview document that gives the background and rationale for eml. This
would likely have both normative and non-normative sections. Would include an
overview of the structure of EML and the rationale for that structure, and its
intended use. Descriptes packaging and triples in detail. Probably would have
a normative appendix that defines the semantics of every field, which could be
auto-generated from the XSD source documentation.
Chris -- you started an outline for this. Can you recreate it here or in a
document in CVS?
We should have this for the 2.0.0 release but will not likely have it for the
beta7 release.

Much progress made, but revisions still required for EML 2.0.0. Changing milestone.
#5 Updated by Chris Jones about 18 years ago
Moving the spec document milestone to the 2.0.0 release. There are a number of
structural changes that need to be made to this document, as well as content
changes.
1) Chapter's 1 and 3 have too much overlap, and so need to be reconciled.
2) The entire document needs to be formatted with section and sub-section
numbering for easier referencing
3) Example graphics are needed to get the concepts across

I've got David scheduled to work on this and I would like to work on it as well
