Arguments

alternateIdentifier	A secondary identifier for this entity See alternateIdentifier()
shortName	A short name that describes the resource, sometimes a filename. See shortName()
title	A brief description of the resource, providing enough detail to differentiate it from other similar resources. See title()
creator	The people or organizations who created this resource. See creator()
metadataProvider	The people or organizations who created provided documentation and other metadata for this resource. See metadataProvider()
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()
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".
