Use Intake #87

A light suggestion that people here may want to consider expressing this collection of data-sets using Intake, which is a cataloging standard allowing you to describe the metadata and way-to-load for data in a single browsable, searchable spec, e.g., a YAML file. This is, for instance, what the pangeo collaboration does. Most of their data is in zarr or other xarray-compatible formats, so you would also need intake-astro to enable loading FITS data from remote files, with local caching if desired, and lazy-loading with Dask.
