Implements hook_views_data().

Generates a dynamic data array for Views

This function is a hook used by the Views module. It populates and returns a data array that specifies for the Views module the base table, the tables it joins with and handlers. The data array is populated using the data stored in the tripal_views tables.

Return value

a data array formatted for the Views module

D7 @todo: Add support for materialized views relationships using the new method
