Creating a data dictionary¶

By creating a data dictionary, you can clarify what metadata you need to collect for your data. It can also help you record Parameter names and values consistently, using the same letter casing and units. This will help with finding your data in the future.

For example, if you have a Parameter representing a length, decide on the name (e.g. "distance", no uppercase) and the value unit (e.g. millimetre), and use them consistently.
