improvement to grid size metadata #16

Open stuckyb opened 2 years ago

stuckyb commented 2 years ago

Grid size metadata can't assume the units are meters. Alternative units need to be supported and the unit needs to be included with the metadata.

Cool, thanks! I am going to re-open this issue as reminder (to myself) that two more things need to be done here:

  1. unit-aware dataset processing
  2. units reflected in relevant HTTP responses returned to clients

I think the processing we plan to do would use the appropriate unit as long as the crs is always specified for all raster and vector data objects (which reminds me: the clip to bounding box should define the crs for the box - see new issue #27).

Related, #14 has a unit component.
