  1. How and why the dataset was made ✔
  2. Only the final model accuracy
  3. Only the storage provider

Why: A dataset datasheet records decisions and assumptions that raw files cannot show. This helps future users judge suitability, risks, and responsible uses.

Huh, didn't know that: The idea borrows its name from datasheets supplied with electronic components.

The dad joke
The dataset brought a datasheet so nobody had to guess its ingredients.
