What it is¶
A proposal to accompany every dataset with a structured record of its motivation, composition, collection, and recommended uses. The record travels with the data so downstream users can judge fitness.
Role in the record¶
- Grounds BP05: documented dataset provenance and intended use.
Atom-level for/against detail and quotes are in the provenance data (assets/provenance.yml), keyed by practice atom.
