Datasheet for Datasets
Definition
A Datasheet for Datasets is a standardized document that details the content, origin, and any associated risks of a dataset. This document is essential for understanding and managing datasets effectively.
Where you’ll find it
You can find this feature usually within the data governance or dataset management section of an AI platform. It might not be automatically visible in all versions or plans, so check your platform's features list if you're having trouble locating it.
Common use cases
- When you need to thoroughly document the characteristics of a dataset before it is used in AI model training.
- To maintain transparency and accountability in dataset handling and usage, especially when datasets involve sensitive or personal data.
- As a reference during audits or reviews to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and standards.
Things to watch out for
- Be diligent in filling out all sections of the datasheet to avoid missing critical data that might affect your project or compliance status.
- Regular updates might be needed as datasets evolve or as new data governance policies come into effect.
- Some platforms may require manual entry of datasheet details, which can be prone to human error.
