Description
Currently, wcst_import only supports saving global metadata:
"metadata": {
"type": "json",
"global": {
"MarsType": "'${grib:marsType}'",
"Experiment": "'${grib:experimentVersionNumber}'"
}
}
This gets persisted in the gml:extraMetadata section of the coverage.
We need to allow the same for band-specific metadata. E.g. for a coverage having band chlor_a, we must allow:
"metadata": {
"type": "json",
"global": {
"MarsType": "'${grib:marsType}'",
"Experiment": "'${grib:experimentVersionNumber}'"
},
"chlor_a": {
"uom": "g/m3",
"Standard name": "Chlorophyll Concentration"
}
}
This information should be persisted in the same place: the extraMetdata section of the coverage. When the coverage is encoded into a format that supports band specific metadata (e.g. netcdf), the saved metadata should be encoded in each band.
