Re: [Animl-develop] Allowed Values in AnIML

[Stuart C. <sc...@un...>]

The same is true in the parameter data for a SampleSet

Both MP and BP (shouldn't they be MeltingPoint and BoilingPoint) are in
most cases ranges of numbers.

As a general note I am stating to work on implementing animl in my lab and
I have many other questions.  Would it be possible to set up CVS for animl
development?  Then people can report bugs and have those bugs worked on.
When I say bugs I mean XSD issues that are either too limiting or are not
well enough defined.  Just a thought.  FYI: I can help with both.... ;)
