ODD-764: Update metadata/preservation services to support customization workflow #149

Closed RayPlante closed 4 years ago

RayPlante commented 4 years ago

This PR addresses task ODD-764 ("Update prepublication metadata server to accept updates") which address updating the Python components of the publication workflow to support user landing page customization. In particular, this PR implements the "Mark III" version of the MIDAS-PDR workflow, in which MIDAS pushed updated POD records to the PDR (via a service api) as the user makes changes via MIDAS, and initiates landing page editing (via a separate api) so that the user can make changes there. This PR introduces a new service, pubserver, to provide these new APIs. During landing page editing, the pubserver service mediates between MIDAS and the customization service, converting metadata between POD and NERDm formats.

Because of the change in the MIDAS-PDR workflow introduced in this PR, substantial changes were also necessary to the out layers of the preservation service.
