\section{Motivation For Datasheet Creation}
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Why was the datasheet created? (e.g., was there a specific task in mind? was there a specific gap that needed to
be filled?)}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Has the dataset been used already? If so, where are the results so others can compare
(e.g., links to published papers)?}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{What (other) tasks could the dataset be used for?}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Who funded the creation dataset?}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Any other comment?}}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Datasheet Composition}
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{What are the instances?(that is, examples; e.g., documents, images, people, countries) Are there multiple types
of instances? (e.g., movies, users, ratings; people, interactions between them; nodes, edges)}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{How many instances are there in total (of each type, if appropriate)?}}
\lipsum[1]. Citation example. \cite{latex:companion, latex2e}
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{What data does each instance consist of ? “Raw”
data (e.g., unprocessed text or images)? Features/attributes? Is there a label/target associated with
instances? If the instances related to people, are subpopulations identified (e.g., by age, gender, etc.) and what is
their distribution?}}
\lipsum[1]
Here's an example of a footnote \footnote{I'm a footnote.} \footnote{I'm another footnote.}
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Is there a label or target associated with each instance? If so, please
provide a description.}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Is any information missing from individual instances? If so, please
provide a description, explaining why this information is missing (e.g., because it was unavailable). This does not include intentionally removed
information, but might include, e.g., redacted text.}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Are relationships between individual instances made explicit (e.g.,
users’ movie ratings, social network links)? If so, please describe
how these relationships are made explicit.}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Does the dataset contain all possible instances or is it a sample (not
necessarily random) of instances from a larger set? If the dataset is
a sample, then what is the larger set? Is the sample representative of the
larger set (e.g., geographic coverage)? If so, please describe how this
representativeness was validated/verified. If it is not representative of the
larger set, please describe why not (e.g., to cover a more diverse range of
instances, because instances were withheld or unavailable).}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Are there recommended data splits (e.g., training, development/validation, testing)? If so, please provide a description of these
splits, explaining the rationale behind them.}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Are there any errors, sources of noise, or redundancies in the
dataset? If so, please provide a description.}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Is the dataset self-contained, or does it link to or otherwise rely on
external resources (e.g., websites, tweets, other datasets)? If it links
to or relies on external resources, a) are there guarantees that they will
exist, and remain constant, over time; b) are there official archival versions
of the complete dataset (i.e., including the external resources as they existed at the time the dataset was created); c) are there any restrictions
(e.g., licenses, fees) associated with any of the external resources that
might apply to a future user? Please provide descriptions of all external
resources and any restrictions associated with them, as well as links or
other access points, as appropriate.}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{Any other comments?}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Collection Process}
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{What mechanisms or procedures were used to collect the data (e.g.,
hardware apparatus or sensor, manual human curation, software program, software API)? How were these mechanisms or procedures validated?}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{How was the data associated with each instance acquired? Was the
data directly observable (e.g., raw text, movie ratings), reported by subjects (e.g., survey responses), or indirectly inferred/derived from other data
(e.g., part-of-speech tags, model-based guesses for age or language)?
If data was reported by subjects or indirectly inferred/derived from other
data, was the data validated/verified? If so, please describe how.}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{If the dataset is a sample from a larger set, what was the sampling strategy (e.g., deterministic, probabilistic with specific sampling probabilities)?}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Who was involved in the data collection process (e.g., students,
crowdworkers, contractors) and how were they compensated (e.g.,
how much were crowdworkers paid)?}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Over what timeframe was the data collected? Does this timeframe
match the creation timeframe of the data associated with the instances
(e.g., recent crawl of old news articles)? If not, please describe the timeframe in which the data associated with the instances was created.}}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Data Preprocessing}
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Was any preprocessing/cleaning/labeling of the data done (e.g., discretization or bucketing, tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, SIFT
feature extraction, removal of instances, processing of missing values)? If so, please provide a description. If not, you may skip the remainder of the questions in this section.}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Was the “raw” data saved in addition to the preprocessed/cleaned/labeled data (e.g., to support unanticipated
future uses)? If so, please provide a link or other access point to the
“raw” data.}}
\lipsum[1]
\textcolor{blue}{\subsection{Is the software used to preprocess/clean/label the instances available? If so, please provide a link or other access point.}}
