associatedParty

Other people or organizations who should be associated with this resource. See associatedParty()

pubDate

The publication date of the resource. See pubDate()

language

The language in which the resource is written. See language()

series

The series from which the resource came. See series()

abstract

A brief overview of the resource. See abstract()

keywordSet

Keyword information that describes the resource. See keywordSet()

additionalInfo

Any extra information pertitent to the resource. See additionalInfo()

intellectualRights

Intellectual property rights regarding usage and licensing of this resource. See intellectualRights()

licensed

Information identifying a well-known license for the metadata and data See licensed()

distribution

Information on how the resource is distributed online and offline See distribution()

coverage

Extent of the coverage of the resource. See coverage()

annotation

A precisely-defined semantic statement about this resource. See annotation()

purpose

A synopsis of the purpose of this dataset. See purpose()

introduction

An overview of the background and context for the dataset. See introduction()

gettingStarted

A high level overview of interpretation, structure, and content of the dataset. See gettingStarted()

acknowledgements

Text that acknowledges funders and other key contributors. See acknowledgements()

maintenance

A description of the maintenance of this data resource. See maintenance()

contact

The contact for this dataset See contact()

publisher

The publisher of this data set See publisher()

pubPlace

The location that the resource was published. See pubPlace()

methods

The methods field documents scientific methods used in the collection of this dataset. See methods()

project

The project field contains information on the project in which this dataset was collected. See project()

dataTable

The dataTable field documents the dataTable(s) that make up this dataset. See dataTable()

spatialRaster

The spatialRaster field describes any spatial raster images included in this dataset. See spatialRaster()

spatialVector

The spatialVector field describes any spatial vectors included in this dataset. See spatialVector()

storedProcedure

The storedProcedure field contains information about any stored procedures included with this dataset. See storedProcedure()

view

The view field contains information about any views included with this dataset. See view()

otherEntity

The otherEntity field contains information about any entity in the dataset that is not any of the preceding entities. See otherEntity()

referencePublication

A citation to an additional publication that serves as an important reference for a dataset. See referencePublication()

usageCitation

A citation to articles or products in which the dataset is used or referenced. See usageCitation()

literatureCited

A citation to articles or products which were referenced in the dataset or its associated metadata. See literatureCited()

references

The id of another element in this EML document to be used to here in this context. See references()

id

A unique identifier for this additional metadata that can be used to reference it elsewhere. This is a formal field in that it is an error to provide a value for the id attribute that is not unique within the document's set of id attributes. This is designed to allow other portions of the metadata to reference this section formally.

system

The data management system within which an identifier is in scope and therefore unique. This is typically a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that indicates a data management system. All identifiers that share a system must be unique. In other words, if the same identifier is used in two locations with identical systems, then by definition the objects at which they point are in fact the same object.

scope

The scope of the identifier. Scope is generally set to either "system", meaning that it is scoped according to the "system" attribute, or "document" if it is only to be in scope within this single document instance. In this particular use of scope, it is FIXED to be "system" because the packageId is required and always has the scope of the required "system".

Value

a dataset list object
