Multiple data support for a single entity #263

Closed eblondel closed 1 year ago

eblondel commented 2 years ago

The geoflow data model should evolve to support multiple geoflow_data objects for a single geoflow_entity.

As first objective, this will not be implemented through the basic tabular metadata handlers, and a new handler will be designed to deal with a Data directory, from which geoflow_data objects will be built. The geoflow data model should be backward compatible to make sure ongoing workflows in which entity$data is a geoflow_data keep working as it is.

The handler based on a data directory should be a convenience for doing batch publication of ISO/OGC data products, where a single metadata may refer to several data objects, ie several layers.
