Fixes issue #51

niconoe commented 8 years ago

Thanks, @nickynicolson !

I am a bit confused about the fact that you suggest using a default value of meta.xml. Isn't there here a confusion between the Archive metafile (meta.xml) and the scientific metadata (often EML.xml)?

The good news is: I plan to support a wider range of archives really soon, and I think that should work for the example Archives you submitted (that's great, please continue to do so!).

See more info in #51 !

Implemented it myself since I was heavily updating that part of the code. Thanks for the PR anyway!
