In EDIorg/emlAssemblyLine: A tool kit for building EML metadata workflows

Choose a repository

Once the information rich EML metadata has been created, the next step is to publish the data package in a repository. Before uploading, it’s a good practice and a common courtesy to contact the repository of interest because some repositories:

• are science domain specific
• are funding source specific
• are better at serving particular data types
• are recommended by journals
• are certified trust worthy
• have valuable user features
• offer sandbox environments for testing data package display prior to publication
• have limits on the volume of data that can be uploaded
• have unique upload procedures
• have support staff to help with uploads
• require a user ID and password
