Looking For A Great Word Template To Document A Dataset โ€” Any Suggestions?

Hey folks! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Iโ€™m working on documenting a dataset I exported from OpenStreetMap using the HOTOSM Raw Data API. Itโ€™s a GeoJSON file with polygon data for education facilities like (schools, universities, kindergartens, etc.).

I want to write a clear, well-structured Word document to explain whatโ€™s in the dataset โ€” including things like:

  • Field descriptions
  • Metadata (date, source, license, etc.)
  • Coordinate system and geometry
  • Sample records or schema
  • Any other helpful notes for future users

Rather than starting from scratch, I was wondering if anyone here has a template they like to use for this kind of dataset documentation? Or even examples of good ones you’ve seen?

Bonus points if it works well when exported to PDF and is clean enough for sharing in an open data project!

Would love to hear whatโ€™s worked for you. ๐Ÿ™ Thanks in advance!
