FITS XML to RDF

WGBH wants to bring FITS-specific XML in as RDF properties in Phydo to allow for search and discovery based on technical metadata properties of an object. Also interest in EXIF, FFProbe, and PBCore XML as RDF properties, so pulling in properties from various tech md, depending on what is available.

Something already in place in Hydra::Works for FITS - https://github.com/projecthydra-labs/hydra-works/tree/master/lib/hydra/works/characterization/schema

EXIF has RDF expression - http://www.w3.org/2003/12/exif/
