Parse map coordinates from metadata

The harvest of digitised maps metadata includes a coordinates column that provides a string representation of either a point or a bounding box. This notebook attempts to parse the coordinate string and convert the values to decimals. It then uses the decimal values to explore the geographical context of Trove's digitised map collection.
