For this purpose, it is useful to provide in each project or experiment folder an additional file describing the organisation and/or content of the data files. For these meta-data, it is recommended to use text-only files, and not binary files like Word, Excell, PDF. For example if you use a `.csv/.tsv files` (comma/tab separated values) for tables instead of a Excel file, you will be able to edit it with Excel as usual and bioinformatics tools will be able to read it too, while Excel files are readable only by very Microsoft and OpenOffice software. For free text, you can also use `.txt or .md (markdown) files`, and `.json files` for structured data and key/value pairs.
