DirectoryMetadata

Definition:

A json file in which to store metadata that applies to all datafiles within the containing directory or within any nested subdirectories. Fields from the file replace the values of the global dataset_description object.

Properties:

Property	Value	Description

extensions	['.json']	Extension of current file including initial dot
baseDir	data	Name of the directory under which the file object is expected to appear.
arbitraryNesting	True	Indicator for whether a given file object is allowed to be nested within an arbitrary number of subdirectories.

reason	Optionally, you can provide an additional metadata file that is named file_metadata.json and overrides dataset_description.json for an entire directory. It will apply to all files within that directory and its subdirectories.
