Dataset cards, schemas, provenance, and governance — no private data
# adara-datasets
Dataset cards, schemas, provenance, licensing, loaders. Never private data.
## Status
**Planning**
Classification: `RESEARCH / DATA` · Visibility: `public` · License: `See each dataset card`
## Overview
Governance for African language/speech/context data. Open metadata can live here. Private corpora stay in restricted storage.
## Why this exists
Application repos must not become data lakes.
## Architecture
dataset-cards/ per dataset; licensing/ for policy; loaders/ for public formats only.
