[LTER-im] integration of markdown with TextType (and other proposed changes) in EML 2.2==> unit-related tickets

[Eda C. Melendez-Colom]

Thanks so much. This is very helpful.
Reading Margaret's comment, I learned that I was under the misconception that EML uses the LTER Unit Registry.
For me the latter is the LTER standard. I understand it was built like we built the Controlled Vocabulary of data set's keywords...puting all sites' set of keywords together and selecting a global set following a certain set of rules...
I guess that's why we need the history of the LTER IM...
Anyway, thanks again.

I do not know the history behind units in EML or how, or if, the unit registry is maintained. Margaret offered a comment on one of the issues concerning units [here] that is insightful, and I believe that the EDI has it on their docket to consider revisions to the unit registry. Stevan

Hi,
Thank you Earl for this update.
I was looking the list of tickets and saw at list two related to units that are not in the Unit dictionary.
Does that mean that new units will be incorporated into the Unit Registry which I understand is our official unit list?
Who maintains this registry?

 Hello IMs,

I think you are all aware that Matt Jones and others are preparing for a release of EML 2.2. One of the issues that I have been following closely is this one related to the implementation of TextType in EML as I have found the DocBook implementation/limitations in EML extremely frustrating. At the risk of butchering the technical details, I am super, super, super (yes, three supers!) excited about a change that Matt and others have proposed for EML 2.2 that would allow for the integration of markdown (sorry, Margaret) with TextType. Matt would love feedback from the community on this proposed change, so, if you are interested in this issue, please express your thoughts in the afore linked GitHub issue.

Related, please see here for a list of the many tickets that Matt and others are working on related to EML 2.2.


Thanks for your consideration,
Stevan
