  <p>Metacat allows a user to create a virtual link between XML documents within
30 30 
  the system.  These links are called <i>Relationships</i> and are defined by triples
31 
  in <i>eml-dataset-2.0</i> files.  A relationship can be defined between two
31 
  in <i>eml-dataset</i>, <i>eml-literature</i> or <i>eml-software</i> files.  A relationship can be defined between two

  DTD (-//NCEAS//eml-dataset-2.0//EN).  The package doctype is an application
118 118 
  property of Metacat.  Setting this property (and others) is described in
119 119 
  <a href="./properties.html">Setting Metacat Properties</a>.  The package file
120 
  is broken up into <i>n</i> triples.  Each triple has a subject, relationship,
120 
  contains <i>n</i> triples.  Each triple has a subject, relationship,
121 121 
  and an object.  This grouping can be read as follows:  &lt;subject&gt; has
122 122 
  &lt;relationship&gt; to &lt;object&gt;.  Each triple is a logical link
123 123 
  between the subject and object with the relationship being a description of that
