abstract: This is a utility for transforming Ecological Metadata Language ('EML')
  files into 'JSON-LD' and back into 'EML.' Doing so creates a list-based representation
  of 'EML' in R, so that 'EML' data can easily be manipulated using standard 'R' tools.
  This makes this package an effective backend for other 'R'-based tools working with
  'EML.' By abstracting away the complexity of 'XML' Schema, developers can build
  around native 'R' list objects and not have to worry about satisfying many of the
  additional constraints of set by the schema (such as element ordering, which is
  handled automatically). Additionally, the 'JSON-LD' representation enables the use
  of developer-friendly 'JSON' parsing and serialization that may facilitate the use
  of 'EML' in contexts outside of 'R,' as well as the informatics-friendly serializations
  such as 'RDF' and 'SPARQL' queries.
