"""
Download UD metadata for the different releases from the lindat clarin-dspace
repository into `./etc/`:
- BibTeX "Howto Cite"
  (use the item's own data from the webpage)
- dc.description
  (use the clarin-dspace API to retrieve the item's metadata)

We assume a clarin-dspace infrastructure with:
- ".../repository/server/api/core/refbox/citations?type=bibtex&handle="
  returning a bibtex entry for the given hdl
- ".../repository/server/api/core/items/" as the API endpoint (core/items)
