Add capability for crawlers RetrieveAVRISNGData.py to write .met files #33

Open lewismc opened 5 years ago

lewismc commented 5 years ago

It would be helpful for us to capture metadata pertaining to the source of .img and .hdr files we download from the AVIRIS FTP server. For example, if we wrote an accompanying .met file for each file we download via RetrieveAVRISNGData.py, we could use the .met files to augment the metadata with the Dublin Core dcterms:source metadata key which would enable anyone to obtain the original data should they wish. Further description of what dcterms:source is can be found below.
