+    Hugging Face does not support the use of a `CITATION.cff`. Instead, citation guidance is provided in the Citation Section of the [Dataset](HF_DatasetCard_Template_mkdocs.md) or [Model](HF_ModelCard_Template_mkdocs.md) card. When [generating a DOI on Hugging Face](DOI-Generation.md##1-generate-a-doi-on-hugging-face), author names must be added manually in the intended order for them to be displayed in the DOI "Cite this dataset" link.

 #### README
 
 The README.md file is generally referred to as either a Dataset or Model Card and is what everyone will notice first when they open your repository on Hugging Face. Choose the appropriate Imageomics-specific HF template ([model](HF_ModelCard_Template_mkdocs.md) or [dataset](HF_DatasetCard_Template_mkdocs.md)) to get started. Be sure to include a brief description and as much information as possible at the beginning. You can update this file as you go, so don't remove the recommended sections prior to completion. The templates include descriptions of many fields, Imageomics grant information, citation formatting, and some notes on HF-flavored markdown to get you started.
 
 Once you've created your repo, populate your README (you can do this online by selecting "Create Dataset/Model Card" and pasting in the appropriate Imageomics HF template, then filling in your info). Editing your README in the browser allows you to preview the formatting of the file before committing changes.

+Alongside the appropriate stakeholders, select a license following the guidelines set forth in the [Digital Products Release and Licensing Policy](Digital-products-release-licensing-policy.md). For Datasets, this would be public domain or terms no more restrictive than requiring attribution (e.g., [CC-BY](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)); Models and Spaces should be released under a license that is [Open Source Initiative](https://opensource.org/licenses) (OSI) compliant.
 
 !!! note "Remember"
     A public repository on Hugging Face with no license can be viewed and accessed by others, but unless the author associates a license, it is unclear what others are allowed to do with it legally. Adding an OSI license can help others feel comfortable building off your work!

+For more information on how to choose a license and why it matters, see [Choose A License](https://choosealicense.com). Keep in mind that your available license options may also be limited by your data sources or base model. Data should not be republished where not explicitly warranted or required.[^1]

+[^1]: For instance, when working with images aggregated from multiple sources, a catalog of all images used with URLs to access the images and download instructions ([cautious-robot](Helpful-Tools-for-your-Workflow.md#cautious-robot) can help with this) respects the original source data producers interests. However, if you have processed the images in a resource-intensive pipeline and the image licenses allow, the _processed_ images should be published for ease of re-use. In this case, it is important to provide the citation for the source data as well.

+    Unlike in GitHub, a `LICENSE.md` file is not supported. Instead, the license for the digital object is added through the `yaml` (for ease of API access) and further clarifications can be included in the License Section of the [Dataset](HF_DatasetCard_Template_mkdocs.md) or [Model](HF_ModelCard_Template_mkdocs.md) card.
