Description

been failing Hudson for a while:

org.dataone.integration.D1ClientTest.testCreateDescribedDataAndMetadata

assertion failed for host http://cn-dev.dataone.org/knb/d1/ Expected: is "text/csv" got: "text/plain"

The question is did the object format change and the new result is what we should expect, or is something wrong?

MetacatHandler.createSystemMetadata() now parses EML documents to ferret out system metadata information such as the object format. The parsing code considers any simple-delimited text file to be of object format 'text/csv' (according to Matt's definition of CSV based on defacto use in ecology). Therefore, the test is expecting 'text/plain' when the parser is returning 'text/csv'.

We need to either:
1) Change the parser to consider tab or space delimited text files to be 'text/plain'

or

2) Change the test to expect 'text/csv' as the object format, accepting the definition that Matt described

We reluctantly decided to adopt the second approach - use text/csv as a catch-all format for simple delimited text files since that is the norm for many researchers and scientific analysis packages (R, Matlab, SAS, etc.).
