Script: cr droid.sh

cr-droid.sh came out of the work at https://github.com/timrdf/prizms/wiki/PRONOM.

It is used within csv2rdf4lod by:

• bin/cr-create-versioned-dataset-dir.sh runs cr-droid.sh when it retrieves a file for a new version of a dataset.
• bin/dataset/cr-aggregate-droid.sh runs cr-droid.sh for any retrievals that haven't had it done, so that it can aggregate them.

Overall, we haven't seen many good results from the DROID tool (homepage). The GitHub issues often report "sorry, we're not developing it at the moment, so we can't address this." But we keep hope.

Documentation is still poor.

• README on GitHub
• Another README on Github ** Talks about chmod +x three specific files, but those files are hidden among the directories and are not where as suggested.
