PublicationBank - requirements evaluation

[Ricardo Scachetti Pereira]

    Dear all,

    I'm posting Matt Jones' reply to Robert Huber's survey because we
are having problems with Matt's GUID list subscription.

-------------------
Here I've provided responses for EML.  Its not a database per se, but it
is an exchange format that is in common use among ecological field sites
in the US.  The format basically follows End Note which is a commonly
used bibliography manager at field stations.

The bibliographic section of EML is described here:
http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/eml-2.0.1/eml-literature.html
and here is an image of the schema which is easier to interpret:
