Metadata: Data Management and Publishing: Subject Guides

Data documentation (also known as metadata) enables you understand your data in detail and will enable other researchers to find, use and properly cite your data. It is critical to begin to document your data at the very beginning of your research project, even before data collection begins; doing so will make data documentation easier and reduce the likelihood that you will forget aspects of your data later in the research project. Researchers can choose among various metadata standards, often tailored to a particular file format or discipline.

One such standard is DDI (the Data Documentation Initiative), designed to document numeric data files. For further help in documenting your data, contact data-management@mit.edu. Following are some general guidelines for aspects of your project and data that you should document, regardless of your discipline. Screaming Frog SEO Spider Tool & Crawler Software.
