Description: eml/additionalMetadata/metadata/gbif/physical is the only path to a data description that the EMLParser understands and what the GBIF EML profile defines.
This appears to be redundant and the original EML data description should probably have better been used?]]>

Comment: [~eotuama@gbif.org] mentioned that we might not have avoided using the original EML data description in the beginning, in order to avoid having to include some mandatory eml-physical elements. I'll try to help look into how to use the module.
