Description

Description

An optional description of the data. The description could contain detailed information about the data enabling quick overviews.

Keywords

Keywords specific to the data. Keywords are separated by semicolons. This means that if you write "sales representatives; cost" it will be interpreted as two keywords, "sales representatives" and "cost".

Keywords are used to enhance organization and search capabilities.
