Nice, thanks for that! @amoeba you doing anything with NeXML or just being super helpful?

Just stumbled across the Issue while scanning for Hacktoberfest PRs.

Cool. I think you'd enjoy reading the original NeXML schema paper, as an XML schema that was created about a decade later than EML, which is reflected in it's style (e.g. a strong design around extensibility, semantic / linked data concepts, and the use of rdf-a style meta elements).

Unlike EML, it is intended to encode the data as well as the metadata -- in fact it's an interesting case study in that it was taking aim at a (still dominant?) way of encoding phylogenetic trees; the NEXUS format; which as the paper does a great job of highlighting, isn't actually a consistent standard (largely due to the conflicting ways different developers have tried to extend it). Anyway, I think you'd enjoy the paper

Thanks for the link! The package looked cool from the README but I hadn't really taken a good look yet. Will read!
