Licensing & delivery
Delivering a licensed dataset — Licensed Training Data
ANSWER IN BRIEF
Match the accepted package to the agreed permission and retain evidence of what was supplied.
Create a versioned delivery manifest
Identify the files, record groups, formats and documentation included in the package. List exclusions and any components supplied under separate conditions. Match the manifest to the scope discussed with the recipient. A clear version identifier makes it easier to distinguish the agreed delivery from later corrections, additions or another export.
Carry the relevant context with the files
Provide field definitions, source descriptions and the restrictions or references needed by the receiving team. Avoid scattering essential information across informal messages. The people handling the dataset should be able to identify which package they have and where to find the agreed use and handling terms for that specific version.
Document acceptance and exceptions
Confirm transport integrity and then evaluate the agreed content checks. Record missing records, unusable fields or other exceptions with their version. Identify who can approve a corrected delivery and whether the correction changes scope. A successful transfer is a technical event; commercial acceptance should follow the parties’ defined decision process.
Plan for updates and later questions
Agree how new versions, exclusions and source questions will be communicated. Specify whether future deliveries are included or require another scope decision. Retain the manifest, acceptance record and relevant agreement reference together. An introduction through DataVal does not remove the need for the delivering and receiving parties to resolve these responsibilities.
Questions & answers
What should connect the license to the delivered files?
Use a versioned manifest identifying records, documentation and exclusions, together with the relevant agreement and acceptance record.
