Important notes

  1.  At the very start of the integration  only the information described in fist step below needs  to be  provided in a complete and accurate way.
    However, if information described in step 2  can be provided as well that would be useful. 
  2. This is an iterative process. When the integration process progresses we expect to alter titles, abstracts, variable names, and even address convention, 
    if the CDS cannot manage the structure of the dataset.
  3. A dataset can be split in two or more  entries or merged with an already existing entry in the Catalogue
  4. The final decision  concerning the contents and the format of the final entry (entries) in the Catalogue is made by the CDS Editorial Board.
