Modifying the display name and other metadata of a FeatureSource or an Experiment

The metadata type "eedb:display_name" overrides the already existing Experiment::exp_accession, Experiment::display_name and FeatureSource::name.
To remove/add the metadata type "eedb:display_name" to either the Experiment or FeartureSource UUID, use eedb_metadata_edit.pl

eedb_metadata_edit.pl [options]
  -help               : print this help
  -ids <id,..>        : list of fedID of Experiment/FeatureSource to edit
  -add <mdata>        : add metadata in specified sources. <mdata> like "eedb:display_name=some description"
  -delete_tag <tag>   : delete all metadata with <tag> in specified sources. <tag> like "eedb:display_name"
  -show               : displays all metadata after editing
  -store

This same tool can be used to add or remove any metadata tag. Currently useful metadata tags include

• eedb:display_name= {display name of source}
• eedb:platform= {helicosCAGE, Illumina microarray,...}
• description= {free text description which will appear in DEX and in the information popups}
• eedb:series_name= {this will be the "series name" used for expression sorting and filtering,}
