There are a couple of topics coming up here, so I will try to address them individually. Note: comments based on my experience with a subset of EML-builders who work...

For example, is [`amount` ](http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0000070) really qualitative? The definition suggests it's very quantitative. Also, it would be useful to broaden the meaning of a class labelled as "amount" beyond whole...

This fix looks like it will catch docs with missing unit definitions. HOWEVER: I am pretty sure that the previous parse behavior was to match the `` to the XPath...

Clarification: the eml-unitTypeDefinitions.xsd has Types for length and mass units, and the LengthUnitType is used in for altitudeUnits in coverage (MassUnitType is not currently used). The fix for this bug...

This suggestion was the result of a conversation in our EML metadata congruence checking group - where we are using the authentication element to check congruence of an asserted checksum...

@servilla and I talked about the options. Our conclusion: we only encourage the use of a single `` reference (https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/bibliography_management_with_bibtex#Reference_guide) in the EML `` element, but defer the use of...

I confess I did not spend much time on the unitType field. I found it to be somewhat overloaded, combining features of quantity and dimensionality. Further, unitType did not seem...

thanks, Bryce. maybe someone could mine the EML to see what people are already doing with log units. In general, we need guidelines for many dimensionless units, and attributes that...

Thanks for the query @amoeba . bummer that we don't have the semantics in place to remove the attrs that are about trees. But to be perfectly correct, it seems...

Tried to summarize the slack discussion. something like this, for the EML documentation (feel free to edit): If an attribute is a log transform, it can be unitless ("dimensionless" is...
