Description
This is a general issue for thrashing out the Cedar API
There are 2 types of json documents involved with cedar.
### Cedar Templates
These are the source, generic templates, based on the vega spec syntax, with an inputs hash appended.
An example of this would be json describing a generic bar chart - aka bar-chart.json
Stored in portals as `type: chart-template`
### Cedar Chart
This is the combination of a vega spec, with the data source url / embedded data. This is the most commonly consumed form for presentation to the end-user.
An example of this would be dc-bar-chart-of-crimes-by-type-over-the-last-month.json.
Stored in portal as `type: chart`
### API Philosophy
- templates/data can be fetched by cedar, but also may be passed in to avoid additional round-trips.
### API Dependencies
- vega - for the visualization grammar and parsing into d3 based charts
- d3 because vega depends on it and also used to fetch data
