updated documentation on readthedocs

Merged RufaiOmowunmi.Balogun requested to merge rob_dev into main
2 unresolved threads

Added a documentation structure to be provided on ReadtheDocs (much more details can be fleshed out). This way, all the important documentation elements can be added here and the main repo can be made cleaner.

4 The Raster2STAC package create STAC Collections and Items from different raster data formats
5 and can automatically upload the files to an Amazon S3 bucket. This way the datasets becomes
6 easily accessible, interoperable, and shareable.

8 Depending on the user requirements and data formats, two approaches can be taken:
9
10 1. Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFS (COGs)
11 Here, the input dataset/s (expected to be a NetCDF data format) is/are read and rewritten into several COGs to the local disk. One COG per time stamp and per variable/band in the netCDF will be generated.
12 This might increase the overall memory required to store the data, but allows a high level of interoperability with third party libraries for reading and visualizing the data.
13
14 2. Kerchunk
15 The second approach tries to keep the original data as is, without the necessity to duplicate it in COGs. The sample use case that we will cover consist in netCDF files and for each of the a JSON Kerchunk
16 file will be created. The Kerchunk files will be then read by raster2stac and a SATC Collection generated.
