Description

XML Spy is raising an error in eml-resource in the inline element

"undefined value for type encountered"

changing the type to anything else (eg: xs:anySimpleType or adding an element
Any similar to additionalMetadata) makes this go awaythis needs to be fixed -
xml spy is a tool that many users are using to work with raw xml files because
of its powerful interactive validation and schema support

same error occurs in the inline element in physicalDistributionType

reccomended fix is to define the inline element in both places as:

&lt;xs:element name="inline"&gt;
          &lt;xs:complexType&gt;
            &lt;xs:sequence&gt;
              &lt;xs:any maxOccurs="unbounded"/&gt;
            &lt;/xs:sequence&gt;
          &lt;/xs:complexType&gt;
        &lt;/xs:element&gt;
This is functionally the same as xs:anyType, but avoids the problem with spy 
(which uses MS parser) recognizing the type name
