The populate_sources method of the observatory is used to re-create datasets from raw data files on disk.
Since this is a side-utility, and not part of the main analysis, it may be possible to achieve the same result using direct kwargs input, instead of through the Parameters object.
Also, we should consider if the right thing to do is "populate_raw_data" instead of "populate_sources". It may be something that combines these two.
