        Features
        --------
        
        - Core API for adding different types of metadata to files on disk
        - Automatic generation of structural metadata
        - Programmatic discovery and access of items in a dataset
        - Structural metadata includes hash, size and modification time for
          subsequent integrity checks
        - Ability to annotate individual files with arbitrary metadata
        - Metadata stored on disk as plain text files, i.e. disk datasets
          generated using this API can be accessed without special tools
        - Ability to create plugins for custom storage solutions
        - Plugins for iRODS and Microsoft Azure storage backends available
        - Cross-platform: Linux, Mac and Windows are all supported
        - Works with Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6
        - No external dependencies
        
        Overview
        --------
        
        The dtoolcore project provides a Python API for managing (scientific) data.
        It allows researchers to:
        
        - Package data and metadata into a dataset
        - Organise and backup datasets easily
        - Find datasets of interest
        - Verify the contents of datasets
        - Discover and work with data programatically
