Data Documentation provides information about the context of our data, our digital archival content, often in a textual or other human-readable form. Data documentation supplements metadata and provides information that enables others to use the archival content. Given that data documentation is also “data about data,” it could also be seen as a specific type of metadata—one that provides context and is recorded in a human-friendly format.
