Datasheets for Datasets Template - Audrey Beard
Datasheets for Datasets - Timnit Gebru et al, arXiv:1803.09010

Beard provides a LaTeX template for Gebru et al’s suggested “Datasheets for Data sets”, a human readable high level description of a dataset - not a data dictionary, but describing the reason the data set exists, how data was collected, what preprocessing/cleaning/labeling was done if any, how or if maintenance will be done, what uses the dataset has been put to, and more.
