Next release. Again, this will be rare. Not much to be gained from a URL reference.

Matt, Mark:

Do you think that handling references to online URLs should be a requirement for the first release of the Data Manager Library (1.0.0), or recorded as an enhancement for the next release (1.1.0)?

Thanks, Duane

Hi, Duane:

Yeah, current eml parser coudn't handle the reference for online url. It can handle reference for attributeList and attribute. We can add supporting online url reference as new feature into our data manager library.

Thanks,

Hi Jing,

Inigo and I have looked into the second issue below a little more (the question about FTP protocol). The problem was not the FTP protocol -- we changed to HTTP and the Data Manager library had the same problem downloading the data. The problem is that the metadata is using a reference to the URL to the data like this:
. . . distributionReference In another part of the EML, we have: http://lternet.lternet.edu/~isangil/NIN/nin_met_1982.txt Because of the reference, Data Manager has no value for the entity identifier, and the download handler is not able to download the data. So it seems that this is a legal EML document but the EML parser is not able to follow the reference to the URL for the data. Here is a link to the document that is having the problem: http://lternet.lternet.edu/~isangil/NIN/nin_lter_met_1982.xml Could you take a look? Thanks, Duane
