Metadata

Information accompanying numeric data

Numeric data without accompanying metadata are useless – it's really that simple. The very minimum would be axis labels and the information where the data originated from and what they represent (e.g., measurements of a sample with some method or results from some calculations).

Which tool to use

Note: This section is clearly opinionated. There are definitely other tools available. However, this is the tool the author recommends from own experience.

YAML
Very easy to write manually.
