[thredds] Metadata generation in TDS

[John Caron]

Hi Jerry:

We do have some general capabilities to do this, but havent got them to the point where users can easily use them. The problem is to match the attributes inside the file with standard tags in the catalogs.

The "Forecast Model Collection" type does some of this automatically, because it knows what the space and time coordinates are, as well as the relevent variables. These scientific data types are probably the way to extract correct info automatically. Its hard to do it for an arbitrary file.
