            <gco:CharacterString>The Research Vessel (R/V) Akademik Mstislav Keldysh was built by Hollming OY of Finland and is owned and operated by the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The homeport of this globally ranging vessel is Kaliningrad. The Keldysh was launched in 1981. Since then, it has supported many scientific and exploratory voyages.
The Keldysh measures 122 m in length and 17.8 m of beam (width). It displaces 6,240 tons of water. Normal cruising speed for the vessel is 10.5 knots, with a maximum speed of 12.5 knots. The ship has a cruising range of 20,000 nautical miles and is propelled by four 1,460-hp diesel engines. It is equipped with sophisticated satellite navigation and communication equipment. To support submersibles and instrumentation, the ship has 15 winches, 4 cranes and an A-Frame.</gco:CharacterString>

            <gco:CharacterString>The Mir I is a battery-powered, three-person submersible with a maximum operating depth of 6,000 m (20,000 ft). This deep-diving capability ranks the Mir vehicles among the deepest diving submersibles ever built, and gives them the capability to reach approximately 98% of the ocean floor. The Mirs allow scientists to observe the deep sea through multiple view ports, video records, instrument placement, sample collecting, and environmental monitoring. The submersibles are launched and recovered with a specialized crane from the starboard side of their primary support vessel, the Research Vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh. To observe the ocean, the crew can peer out of a huge viewing port. While looking out the window is great, the primary data that come from submersible dives are videos. Six 5,000-watt lights allow for excellent filmmaking. Scientists are not the only ones to employ the Mirs in underwater filming. Director James Cameron used them to make his blockbuster Titanic, and they have also been used for IMAX films.</gco:CharacterString>

	"OER BEDI CRUISE LEVEL METADATA TEMPLATE", March 2026 - specifically for BEDI Cruises.

	This XML template for OER Cruise metadata conforms to  the ISO 19115-2:2009(E) geospatial metadata standard. 
  Example content is provided within this template and should be replaced with actual content for the data that are being documented. 
	Fields without comments and without brackets -{{example}}- contain default values. 
	The template matches the NCEI Template as much as possible.

	Authors:
	For further information about this template, please contact

				E-mail: OER.info.mgmt@noaa.gov

	Distribution Liability:
		NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. 
		NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these templates.

	Use Constraints:
		The user is responsible for the results of any application of these templates for other than its
		intended purpose. These templates cannot guarantee valid output. Additional editing
		may need to be done in order to have valid records.

	Revisions:
		2026-03-01 : Initial BEDI-specific cruise-level template (derived from OER NOFO template).
		2026-04-20 : BEDI fork aligned with OER_EX_Cruise_Level_Template_noDOI-20260420 (Jason: Data License Statement docucomp anchor 493b9ff1-4465-404d-bcdf-e0fe1cedb14f); no Okeanos-only acquisition/keyword blocks.
		2026-04-24 : Renamed vendored copy for Metadata Open Office hours; content matches 20260420 generator wiring (placeholders, fragments, acquisition via platform_snippets).
		2026-07-21 : Align BEDI collection output with current review notes: Data License Statement as a direct resourceConstraints component and inline MI_Platform snippets instead of platform docucomp xlinks.
		2026-07-22 : Restore platform docucomp xlinks per reviewer direction; keep collection instruments empty and preserve camera_code values as Provider Instruments keywords.
