If we think this is useful for raster bands, should we also be supporting it for vector fields?
As of #24 we no longer need to figure out where in the MCF schema this should go, but we certainly consider adding it to the BandSchema
.
Finding min/max values could be expensive for large datasets.

As time goes on, and as I curate more data, the less this may be relevant for the YAML. It may still be useful for people in some cases, however an aux.xml file may contain the relevant info and that may be included instead. Otherwise, a quick use of gdal info
could get people the information they would need.
This is part of
content_info
in the MCF spec:Given these descriptions, it's not clear that this is relevant info for most rasters that we work with. But @empavia suggested that min/max could hold the min & max pixel values, and that does seem like useful metadata. Although those stats would pertain to each band, so maybe there is actually a different place for them in the
attributes
