Harvesting: Allow inclusion of arbitrary structured meta data #25

Closed atruskie closed 9 years ago

atruskie commented 9 years ago

Allow the harvester to add arbitrary structured metadata to audio recordings when they are harvested.

Proposal: in the harvest.yml add a field like metadata that is parsed as yaml, converted to JSON and stored in the unstructured data field for audio recordings.

Use case: record important information related to the deployment. E.g. sensor used, conditions affecting the sensor, explanation of weird data (i.e. stripped channels or non-contiguous).

@cofiem so you haven't done this it would appear? Just added the instructions for it on the harvest page?
