Dataset Cards

What is Dataset Card?

Dataset card is a file that accompany the datasets, which is a Markdown file, with a YAML section at the top that contains metadata about the dataset. A dataset repository will render its README.md as a dataset card. The dataset card includes key information of the dataset. It can help users better understand and use your dataset correctly. We recommend that you create your dataset card according to the dataset card specification.

What Information Should be Included in the Dataset Card?

The dataset card should describe:

  • Dataset Name
  • Dataset Overview: Include dataset format and structure, data source and the method the data is labled.
  • Usage: Provide detailed examples and code to illustrate the use of the dataset as much as possible. Introduce and explain the dataset operation environment and framework.
  • Scenarios: Describe the target scenarios, intended uses, and potential limitations of the dataset.
  • Supported models: Describe the model information supported by the dataset.

Dataset Card Metadata

Dataset card is composed of YAML metadata and Markdown text content. You can add metadata by editing the YAML section of the README.md file, separated by three "---". Markdown text shows the dataset information and related descriptions.

You can refer to the following template to create your dataset card.
