CEOP Reference Site Data Set Metadata Procedures

The documentation (i.e. the "Readme" file) that accompanies each CEOP Reference Site Data Set 
is as important as the data itself. This information permits collaborators and other analysts 
to become aware of the data and to understand any limitations or special characteristics of 
data that may impact its use elsewhere. The data set documentation should accompany all data 
set submissions and contain the information listed in the outline below. The following outline 
(and content) should be adhered to as closely as possible to make the documentation consistent 
across all data sets. A documentation file submission must accompany each submitted data set.
