Full support for Dataset MetaData objects

[richarda23]

This is currently a bit patchy.
Implementing a Builder pattern to make Dataset construction a little easier.
Also need to handle optional/mandatory fields
Also validation of input.

@pdurbin Is there any way to programmatically get a list of Subjects and IdentifierSchemes?
I can hard-code based on what I see on the website but would be nice to get from an API call.

@richarda23 unfortunately, there is no way to programmatically get a list of subjects since IQSS/dataverse#1510 is still open.

Technically, I added it a while back but it's hidden behind the "admin" API: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.5.1/src/main/java/edu/harvard/iq/dataverse/api/DatasetFieldServiceApi.java#L178

Recently we added an "info" API ( http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.5.1/api/native-api.html#info ) and this would be a natural place to expose the list of subjects.

What do you mean by IdentifierSchemes? Do you mean DOI vs. Handle? What's the use case for exposing this? Hmm, or do you mean identifiers for authors like ORCID IDs?

What do you mean by IdentifierSchemes?

If you edit a Dataset Metadata, there is sub-field 0f Author called ‘Identifier Scheme’ which is a dropdown list of ORCID,ISNI,LCNA.
If this list is likely to change it would be good to be able to retrieve the list of schemes programatically from the API.
If realistically it’s likely to seldom change I can just hard-code it.

@richarda23 ok, that's also a controlled vocabulary so fits into IQSS/dataverse#1510 . Thanks.
