Manage Data Documentation

Missing data documentation is one of the most frustrating issues when exploring new dataset. With d6tpipe you can easily include data documentation and make the data consumers happy.

Use GUI

The databolt GUI allows you to create and publish dataset documentation including the documents listed below. Log in to GUI, select a pipe and then documentation. You can access the GUI at http://pipe.databolt.tech/gui/

Readme

Include a README.md file which will automatically be displayed when the dataset is pulled for the first time.

License

Include a LICENSE.md file which will automatically be displayed when the dataset is pulled for the first time.

Tearsheet

Data vendors can use tearsheet templates to succinctly describe their datasets, see https://github.com/siia-fisd/altdata-council/blob/master/documentation/tearsheet.md
