EDI Staging Environment
Provenance metadata should be included in a derived data package to document its sources. This can be accomplished by adding a separate <methodStep> element in the derived data package for each of the source data packages from which it is derived.
A data package derived from knb-lter-luq.46.170336 as one of its source data packages should include the <methodStep> element shown below as a sub-element within its <methods> element.
This method step describes provenance-based metadata as specified in the LTER EML Best Practices.
This provenance metadata does not contain entity specific information.
