Dear all,
I wanted to share my little servlet that validates a meta.xml
descriptor for darwin core archives.
This is a simple xml file that provides the information about the
layout of text data files, mainly which column represents which darwin
core term.
People often want to handcraft darwin core archives as it is so simple
to dump data straight from a database into text files. This tool helps
to make sure that the descriptor, which usually is a static write-it-
once file, is valid without knowing how to use oxygen or other xml
tools.
