FAIR requirements
README and DMP documentation should describe the dataset purpose, creators, methods, file structure, metadata, licences, access conditions, preservation approach and expected reuse scenario.
User obligations
Users are expected to provide the scientific and technical context of the dataset, identify responsible contributors, clarify access or reuse limitations and keep documentation consistent with the deposited files.
