metadata

This module deals with metadata as defined by the MT metadata standards.

There are multiple containers for each type of metadata, named appropriately.

Each container will be able to read and write:
  • dictionary

  • json

  • xml

  • csv?

  • pandas.Series

  • anything else?

Each container has an attribute called _attr_dict which dictates if the attribute is included in output objects, the data type, whether it is a required parameter, and the style of output. This should help down the road with validation and keeping the data types consistent. And if things change you should only have to changes these dictionaries.
