DB: standardize keywords

During fixing of sdc-website#49, It became apparent, that keywords in the observation table need to be consistent across different instruments. At least for those keywords where generic searches are performed, we need to decide on a method.

Proposed:

Keyword Use Data Type
DATE-BEG Beginning of observation Datetime
DATE-End End of observation Datetime
THETA Heliographic Angle Float
MU Cosine of heliographic Angle Float
WAVELENGTH Wavelength in NM or Angstrom Float

Implementing this requires:

  • interaction with all importers
    • LARS
    • GRIS
    • BBI
    • ChroTel
  • Changing or updating names in existing entries
    • LARS
    • GRIS
  • Updating website to use only the specified Keywords
