Interface with other databases #11

Open wtbarnes opened 7 years ago

While some parts of the fiasco database are specific to CHIANTI, the overall package structure would be well suited to interface with other atomic databases as well, e.g.

AtomDB
NIST ASD
others

This would require pulling out the database-specific code into separate modules and then developing a database-agnostic interface to the data.

This is relevant to the new spectroscopy package under the PlasmaPy org.
