urbisphere-dm: PublicationDB [RAW]

The PublicationDB acts as a dictionary and schema for the automated attribution of metadata when producing the RAW, L1 and L2 datasets. It contains metadata that is not found in the MetaDB, or, in some cases, updated metadata for a specific publication. The PublicationDB is queried in order to publish standard-compliant datasets in the form of Zenodo repositories and REST APIs, and embedded as global attributes to NetCDF and Zarr archives. In early stages the PublicationDB was known as ProductionDB. The '.pickle' and '.json' files are copies of an online spreadsheet (Google Docs) exported using Python. The files contain sensitive personal information, such as names and ORCID details.
