Define common column names and create internal data store #9

Create internal lookup table

Perhaps something like

old                      new           mfg
Acquisition Time   date_time  lotek

The names should relate common data regardless of name to a common name. The mfg column will help us add the manufacturer to the data set where desired.

Same thing as written in the email that I shared...

We are going to create a list of column names from each test data set that we get and write a few functions that will help us ingest other formats in the future. Packages can have internal data and that data will have a format like

old new mfg Acquisition Time date_time lotek

​This data will be used to rename columns and should make it easy to manage the names of the columns and add the manufacturer of the collar to the data.​
