5	schemaValidDereferenced	valid	Type: metadata System: lter On failure: error	Dereferenced document is schema-valid EML	References are dereferenced, and the resulting file validated	schema-valid	Dereferenced document validated for namespace: 'eml://ecoinformatics.org/eml-2.1.1'	Validity of this quality report is dependent on this check being valid.
6	keywordPresent	valid	Type: metadata System: lter On failure: warn	keyword element is present	Checks to see if at least one keyword is present	Presence of one or more keyword elements	9 'keyword' element(s) found
7	methodsElementPresent	valid	Type: metadata System: lter On failure: warn	A 'methods' element is present	All datasets should contain a 'methods' element, at a minimum a link to a separate methods doc.	presence of 'methods' at one or more xpaths.	1 'methods' element(s) found			EML Best Practices, p. 28
8	coveragePresent	valid	Type: metadata System: lter On failure: warn	coverage element is present	At least one coverage element should be present in a dataset.	At least one of geographicCoverage, taxonomicCoverage, or temporalCoverage is present in the EML.	1 'coverage' element(s) found
9	geographicCoveragePresent	info	Type: metadata System: lter On failure: info	geographicCoverage is present	Check that geographicCoverage exists in EML at the dataset level, or at least one entity's level, or at least one attribute's level.	geographicCoverage at least at the dataset level.	1 'geographicCoverage' element(s) found	Many but not all datasets are appropriate to have spatial coverage.	If sampling EML is used within methods, does that obviate geographicCoverage? Or should those sites be repeated or referenced?	EML Best Practices v.2, p. 22-23. "One geographicCoverage element should be included, whose boundingCoordinates describe the extent of the data....Additional geographicCoverage elements may be entered at the dataset level if there are significant distances between study sites and it would be confusing if they were grouped into one bounding box." 6 decimal places.

No PASTA DOIs are expected to be found in the uploaded data package	No PASTA DOI alternateIdentifier elements found	PASTA DOI values might appear in an uploaded data package (by various mechanisms). PASTA will assign a DOI after the upload has completed successfully, so an initial one should not be there.

(The EML schema does not require this element, but when present, it does constrain its format to YYYY-MM-DD or just YYYY. Citation format uses only the YYYY portion even if a full date is entered.)	2017-10-24			EML Best Practices v.2, p. 17
15	datasetAbstractLength	valid	Type: metadata System: lter On failure: warn	Dataset abstract element is a minimum of 20 words	Check the length of a dataset abstract and warn if less than 20 words.	An abstract is 20 words or more.	310 words found.			EML Best Practices

If PASTA already has a copy of this entity, it will be able to avoid an unnecessary download of the entity from your site, resulting in faster processing of the new data package revision when you update it in PASTA.
