Duplicate annotations #111

Open clnsmth opened 2 years ago

clnsmth commented 2 years ago

Duplicate annotations may lead to semantic conflict when editing/updating an EML file outside of EMLassemblyline.

For example, if /eml:eml/dataset/dataTable has the same annotation at /eml:eml/dataset/dataTable/annotation and /eml:eml/annotations/annotation, it is possible a downstream user may only update the first and not the second.

For this reason it has been suggested that EMLassemblyline stop adding annotations in both places.

Note: The original intent of the duplicate annotation feature was to handle potential variability in uptake by downstream repositories/harvesters.
