Descriptive title

That you are publishing your data or code it is important to have a good title for your new record. Like you probably carefully choose a title for your papers, so you should try to put some effort in creating a good title for othe research outputs. The title will be in any reference to your data or code.  While, depending on the repository you are using to publish, you can potentially change the title, even after a record has been published, it is important to get it right and be as descriptive as possible. Also most people querying a repository will skim quickly through the list of returned records. All they will see initially is the title and the start of the description, until they actually click on one specific record.

And finally any word in the title is used as a keyword by free text search engine.
