Determine strategy for nested values in data dictionaries #113

Open karenmajewicz opened 6 days ago

karenmajewicz commented 6 days ago

Many data dictionaries are simple flat tables of field names and definitions. However, some have more complex schemas where certain fields have their own codebooks.

Here is an example: https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_co_rice/loc_addresses/metadata/metadata.html

How might we store a table like this?

This example does not include a data dictionary, but more of a codebook: https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/biota_landcover_landsat_tm_1990/metadata/metadata.html

What would our strategy be for this?
