add scale and distance to spatial section

pvgenuchten opened this issue · 2 comments

scale and/or distance (resolution) are 2 common fields in many iso19139 oriented metadata profiles, such as https://geonovum.github.io/Metadata-ISO19115/#resolutie. I suggest to include these properties in either the spatial or content section of pygeometa, and return them as part of the iso19139 generation in the relevant fields

identificationInfo[1]//spatialResolution//equivalentScale//denominator and identificationInfo[1]//spatialResolution/*/distance

In pycsw these fields are captured as
image

the parameter is already parsed on OWSLib

Suggestion would be to introduce these in pygeometa (note that usually either scale or resolution is provided):

spatial:
  denominators: 
    - 100
    - 200
  resolution:
     - distance: 100
       uom: m
    - distance 200
      uom: m
