  Over the years, many subjective and objective quality assessment datasets
have been created and made available to the research community. However, there
is no standard process for documenting the various aspects of the dataset, such
as details about the source sequences, number of test subjects, test
methodology, encoding settings, etc. Such information is often of great
importance to the users of the dataset as it can help them get a quick
understanding of the motivation and scope of the dataset. Without such a
template, it is left to each reader to collate the information from the
relevant publication or website, which is a tedious and time-consuming process.
In some cases, the absence of a template to guide the documentation process can
result in an unintentional omission of some important information.
  This paper addresses this simple but significant gap by proposing a datasheet
template for documenting various aspects of subjective and objective quality
assessment datasets for multimedia data. The contributions presented in this
work aim to simplify the documentation process for existing and new datasets
and improve their reproducibility. The proposed datasheet template is available
on GitHub, along with a few sample datasheets of a few open-source audiovisual
subjective and objective datasets.
