This document proposes a specification for what the content of an image metadata database should be, how it should be managed, how it could be implemented, and how it might be extended. A phased strategy for bringing it to production is also proposed.

You can clone this repository and build the technote locally with Sphinx:
git clone https://github.com/lsst-dm/dmtn-227
cd dmtn-227
pip install -r requirements.txt
make htmlNote
In a Conda environment, pip install -r requirements.txt doesn't work as expected. Instead, pip install the packages listed in requirements.txt individually.
The built technote is located at _build/html/index.html.
You can edit the index.rst file, which is a reStructuredText document. The DM reStructuredText Style Guide is a good resource for how we write reStructuredText.
Remember that images and other types of assets should be stored in the _static/ directory of this repository. See _static/README.rst for more information.
The published technote at https://dmtn-227.lsst.io will be automatically rebuilt whenever you push your changes to the main branch on GitHub.
This technote's metadata is maintained in metadata.yaml. In this metadata you can edit the technote's title, authors, publication date, etc.. metadata.yaml is self-documenting with inline comments.
The bibliography files in lsstbib/ are copies from lsst-texmf. You can update them to the current lsst-texmf versions with:
make refresh-bibAdd new bibliography items to the local.bib file in the root directory (and later add them to lsst-texmf).
