# Datanet Contribution

When contributing to a datanet, users can select one of three available types: Text, Image, or Audio.\
Each datanet accepts only one file type. Mixed uploads are not allowed. Uploading files that do not match the selected type is not permitted. Once a datanet type (Text, Image, or Audio) is selected during creation, it cannot be changed later.

Supported formats: *<mark style="color:orange;">.md, .pdf, .docx, .txt.</mark>* (PDF with images will not be supported)&#x20;

#### Image Datanet

Handles image and visual datasets only.\

#### Audio Datanet

Each datanet enforces format compliance automatically. Files that do not match the selected type are rejected during upload.

### Datanet Contribution Validation

All file uploads are validated before being added to a Datanet. The validation process ensures that every file meets internal data quality and compliance standards.

#### Validation Process

The validation process verifies that each file aligns with the defined purpose and content of the Datanet. Both the file and its contextual information are evaluated to confirm relevance, structure, and integrity.

Files that do not meet these criteria are automatically rejected. For accepted contributions, a validation score is assigned to represent the overall accuracy and suitability of the data.

### Datanet Restrictions

Each datanet has defined upload and storage limits.

#### Upload Limits

* Per User Limit: 10 MB total upload capacity per day across all Datanets
* Per Datanet Limit: 10 MB maximum per day for each Datanet
* File Upload Limit: Up to 20 files per user per day

*<mark style="color:red;">Note: If a user attempts to exceed these limits or upload non-compliant data, the upload is automatically rejected.</mark>*
