Description: The EMLParser and related EMLParserTest have a lot of commented out code.

These need to be worked through, porting the code from building the EML, to building the Dataset object.]]>

Comment: We need to now decide which fields should be added to the Dataset Object and which remaining elements not parsed actually correspond to existing Dataset fields.

Added recently to Dataset are:

-metadata language as xml:lang attribute
-additionalInfo
-intellectualRights
-purpose
-specimenPreservationMethod
-parentCollectionIdentifier
-collectionIdentifier
-collectionName
-pubDate

-jgtiUnitType
jgtiUnitRanges (beginRange & endRange)
-jgtiUnits
-jgti uncertaintyMeasure

-physical/objectName
-physical/characterEncoding
-physical/dataFormat/externallyDefinedFormat/formatName
-physical/dataFormat/externallyDefinedFormat/formatVersion

Outstanding fields still not present in the Dataset and not parsed from the eml (with reasons why):

-GUID as packageId attribute (not really important, used to version the metadata)
-dateStamp (same as pubDate)
-hierarchyLevel (means "Dataset level to which the metadata applies; default value is dataset" - I don't know of any deviation from the default)
--studyAreaDescription/descriptor@name" and studyAreaDescription/descriptor@citableClassificationSystem (The IPT populates these fields with name="generic" citableClassificationSystem="false", and I reckon they are scarcely populated anyway)

Comment: These new fields are also showing in the portal Dataset page also btw.

Comment: At this point, we are parsing all fields required and can confidently close this.
