2. Datasets description

(1)Briefly describe the production background of the data;

(2)Data source (download source/instrument method information/literature source, etc.);

(3)Processing methods (model algorithms/digitalization methods, etc.);

(4)Data content (data elements, temporal/spatial extent, temporal/spatial resolution, naming conventions, etc.);

(5)Data quality description (data accuracy, quality control measures, etc.);

(6)Explain the advantages or characteristics compared to similar data, and application scope (Note: If data entities are complex or data processing methods are difficult to understand, it is recommended to attach a data usage instruction document to help users understand the data).

3. Articles to Cite

Enter citation format, supporting Endnote/Bibtex/RefMan three formats, Endnote format is recommended.

4. Data Entity
