Recommendations

• Title should be descriptive enough so that when a user is presented with a long list of titles, the user can determine the general content of the data set
• In order to make titles descriptive, important elements about the data may be included in the title, i.e., parameters measured, geographic location, instrument, investigator, project, temporal coverage
• For readability, capitalization of the title should follow standard constructs. Do not use all capital letters or all lower case letters, but use the appropriate case where applicable.
