Datasets with embedded coordinates or without #123

UseCase 1: geodata is contained in dataset. Right now we extract geodata and save seperately in DB. This is redundant. What makes sense? Discard the separate geodata or keep both?

UseCase 2: datatables do not contain geodata -> geodata was created from scratch by data stewards. We have to keep this because we cannot add geodata to published datasets.

in my opinion remove unnecessary seperation of files is a plus. GeoNode is able to identify geodata from csv by column names. So a when uploading csv files containing x,y or long, lat geonode would handle this datasets as geodata. Therefore I would suggest to not copy additional geodata for dataset.

@specka what do you think?

Sorry, but I dont understand, where do you want to go or the real nature of the issue. You need to explain it to me ...
