*Abstract:*
The Ecological Metadata Language (EML) defines a comprehensive vocabulary and a readable XML markup syntax for documenting research data. It is in widespread use in the earth and environmental sciences, and increasingly in other research disciplines as well. EML is a community-maintained specification, and evolves to meet the data documentation needs of researchers who want to openly document, preserve, and share data and outputs. EML includes modules for identifying and citing data packages, for describing the spatial, temporal, taxonomic, and thematic extent of data, for describing research methods and protocols, for describing the structure and content of data within sometimes complex packages of data, and for precisely annotating data with semantic vocabularies. EML includes metadata fields to fully detail data papers that are published in journals specializing in scientific data sharing and preservation.

## Contributing

Developers may be interested in browsing the [source code repository](https://github.com/NCEAS/eml/) that we use in developing EML. Starting with EML 2.1.1, the master branch reflects the current stable release of EML. Developmet occurs in development branches (e.g., BRANCH_EML_2_2), which allows experimental additions as they are being proposed by the community. This always contains the most recent development version of EML, and therefore may be in flux, or otherwise broken. It is unlikely that it will contain the same files that are in the current release. Development branches are virtually guaranteed to chage before they are released, and so they should not be ussed i production ennvironmentsm. Use development branches at your own risk for testig. Write access to this repository is reserved for current project maintainers. Please submit contributions as pull requests. We welcome contributions to this work in any form. Contributions can take many forms, including the development of the EML schemas, writing documentation, and helping with maintenance, among others. Non-project members can contribute by submitting their feedback, revisions, fixes, code, or any other contribution through pull requests at GitHub. Discussion of issues occurs on the [eml-dev@ecoinformatics.org](https://groups.google.com/a/ecoinformatics.org/forum/#!forum/ecoinfoeml-dev) mailing list, or through the [EML Issue Tracking system](http://github.com/NCEAS/eml/issues). The preferred way to submit problems with EML or feature requests is the issue tracking system.
