CEOP Reference Site Data Set Metadata Procedures

The documentation (i.e. the "Readme" file) that accompanies each CEOP Reference Site Data Set is as important as the data itself. This information permits collaborators and other analysts to become aware of the data and to understand any limitations or special characteristics of data that may impact its use elsewhere. The data set documentation should accompany all data set submissions and contain the information listed in the outline below. The following outline (and content) should be adhered to as closely as possible to make the documentation consistent across all data sets. A documentation file submission must accompany each submitted data set.

TITLE: This should match the data set name
