Set and Report Data Dictionary

[ericbusboom]

Allow the API to set and report the data dictionary attached to a resource.

It's an awesome feature! So I'd really like to be able to use it programmatically.

@ericbusboom, at the moment you can use our REST API directly to make data dictionary changes:https://docs.data.world/documentation/api/tables.html. We are not sure about the design of that API yet, so know that it may change.

The main thing you need to understand is that in our current implementation you are expected to provide a data dictionary (table schema) for the normalized file we create based on the files you upload (as opposed to the files you upload themselves). That's what I don't like about our current design, but you may want to give it a shot and share your thoughts with us. I'll keep you posted as we continue to improve this feature.
