This section covers how the description/abstract is handled, shows examples of files that should be submitted, and outlines how to organize other files submitted. The organization requirements are also available here for the current version, or here for the first version.

The description/abstract will be formatted like this. If you want any special characters (like this one for example: ε) you can include them with the appropriate HTML code. This means you can format superscripts and subscripts, which is especially useful for chemicals and ions (TiO2 or Ti4+). It is suggested that you have this be different from the abstract for any associated publication(s), because this doi and webpage is meant to be specifically for the dataset itself and not any associated publication(s).

The "names.txt" file has a very specific format that should not be broken from. Examples of the "names.txt" files used in the generation of this page are outlined in the hyperlink list below, and the format is outlined in the example pages, but it is important enough to outline again:
  1. Each item needs to be on his own line. This means that a newline character (or the "enter" key) should be between each item and description pair. An example from the first "names.txt" file is:
    1. A blank text file meant to demonstrate how to construct "names.txt", A text file.txt
    2. An empty folder meant to demonstrate how to construct "names.txt" files, An empty folder
    Here, [A blank text file meant to demonstrate how to construct "names.txt"] and [An empty folder meant to demonstrate how to construct "names.txt" files] (without the brackets) are the descriptions for the items "A text file.txt" and "An empty folder", respectively.
  2. Subfolders should be included in the "names.txt" file. They will be zipped for easy downloading, so you don't need to upload it as a zipped folder. If you do upload it as a zipped folder, then you'll need to include the ".zip" extension in the "names.txt" file.
  3. The item descriptions can include superscripts, subscripts, and other various kinds of HTML formatting. Superscripts are accomplished with the formatting <sup>text to superscript</sup> making it appear as text to superscript, while subscripts are accomplished with <sub>text to subscript</sub> making it appear as text to subscript
  4. DO NOT include a period or comma in the item description or file name. If you include a comma, the code will see that line as having more than two comma-separated choices, and won't know which to pick. If you include a period, then there will be difficulty finding the file extension type, and there could be some issue with parsing the file name.

A note if you are looking at the description file linked below: you should not include this line or the lines below it in your description file. If you are reading this on the webpage, don't worry about it, you'll see what I mean when you open the description file and realize there is some special formatting needed for the hyperlinks to work.
