This PR changes metadata handling in
wibl-python
when WIBL files are processed into GeoJSON files, as described in #65. This represents initial work to achieve compatibility with OpenVBI by implementing similar metadata handling directly inwibl-python
code (rather than making OpenVBI a dependency ofwibl-python
and using OpenVBI's metadata handling code directly). This PR also includes an update to documentation in README.md describing the metadata format change, and provides a simple script to convert to the new OpenVBI-compatible format.In future work, the OpenVBI metadata handling code can be used directly by
wibl-python
. However, doing so will ideally require that OpenVBI first be packaged via conda-forge (sincewibl-python
is also packaged as conda-forge package). However, until this conda packaging work has been done for OpenVBI, the current PR will ensure compatibility.
