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.
5 'coverage' element(s) found

geographicCoveragePresent
info
Type:

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.
5 '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.

taxonomicCoveragePresent
info
Type:

System:

On failure:
info
taxonomicCoverage is present
Check that taxonomicCoverage exists in EML at the dataset level, or at least one entity's level, or at least one attribute's level.
taxonomicCoverage at least at the dataset level.
0 'taxonomicCoverage' element(s) found
Only when taxa are pertinent to the dataset will they have taxonomicCoverage.
Could search title, abstract, keywords for any taxonomic name (huge). Could search keywordType="taxonomic".

temporalCoverage is present
Check that temporalCoverage exists in EML at the dataset level, or at least one entity's level, or at least one attribute's level.
temporalCoverage at least at the dataset level.
1 'temporalCoverage' element(s) found
LTER wants to search datasets by time; the best place to search is the dataset level temporal coverage.
Most datasets have a temporal range.

duplicateEntityName

On failure:
error
There are no duplicate entity names
Checks that content is not duplicated by other entityName elements in the document
entityName is not a duplicate within the document
No duplicates found
Data Manager requires a non-empty, non-duplicate entityName value for every entity
Declare a non-empty entityName and ensure that there are no duplicate entityName values in the document
Data are examined and possible record delimiters are displayed
If no record delimiter was specified, we assume that \r\n is the delimiter. Search the first row for other record delimiters and see if other delimiters are found.
No other potential record delimiters expected in the first row.
Other potential record delimiters were found in the first row: [\r\n]
Detection of line endings may be automatic on most systems, so this may not be important.
Ensure that record delimiters are correctly specified.
