What does this mean?
For others to reuse your data, they should know where the data came from (i.e., clear story of origin/history, see R1), who to cite and/or how you wish to be acknowledged. Include a description of the workflow that led to your data: Who generated or collected it? How has it been processed? Has it been published before? Does it contain data from someone else that you may have transformed or completed? Ideally, this workflow is described in a machine-readable format.
