  • The abstract should provide a clear and brief descriptive signpost for researchers who are searching for data that may be relevant to their research.

  • The abstract should allow the reader to determine the scope of the data collection and accurately summarise its content. 

  • The optimal length is one paragraph (limited to 255 characters) and effective abstracts should avoid long sentences and abbreviations where possible.

  • Note: Researchers will view Titles and Abstracts when searching for datasets and choosing whether to explore their content further. Abstracts should be shorter (255 characters) and different from the full description for a dataset (see next section).

Example:

  • This data set, produced by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service for the European Forest Fire Information System, provides complete historical reconstruction of meteorological conditions favourable to the start, spread and sustainability of fires.
