This document outlines essential mentoring resources and general practices for utilizing Ecological Metadata Language (EML) in data management for Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER). It includes tools and technologies such as XML, XSLT, and various database management systems (RDBMS). The focus is on providing guidance for effective EML entry tools, data dictionaries, and the integration of sources like NCEAS, SBC, CAP, HFR, and CanopyDB. This resource is aimed at fostering a solid understanding of EML across multiple research sites.
