            <gco:CharacterString>Clelia, or "CL", is a 305m (1000ft) rated ocean exploration human occupied vehicle (HOV). The PC 1204 sub was built by Perry Oceanographics in 1976, and retrofitted in 1992 by its new owner and operator: Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. Operating from the R/V Seward Johnson II, CL accommodates two scientists/observers and a pilot and travels at a maximum speed of 3 knots. A hemispheric, 3-ft-diameter window is located at the front end of the sub, eight 8-in diameter ports are equally spaced around the conning tower of the sub, and one upward view port is in the center of the overhead hatch, allowing for excellent views even in areas of low visibility. CL is equipped with two 500-watt metal halide lights, illuminating an area to near-daylight conditions for both video and still cameras mounted on the hull. It's also outfitted with active sonar, a seven-function hydraulic manipulator with a 150lb load capacity and suction sampling, clam bucket scoop, jaws, and other sampling devices. In 2010 Clelia was retired and placed on display at the Georgia Aquarium.</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 
			DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce 				
				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.
