# Add Information

Part of what elevates Nodes is the possibility to directly link extra informative elements. 

\
Besides multiple file and data types, you are strongly encouraged to add a [**License**](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/add-license) and [**Metadata**](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/add-metadata) (including using our FAIR guidelines) to your Nodes. You can also add [**Comments**](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/add-comments) to your work for further guidance, direct indications of what data/code was used where, etc. 

\
Lastly, a special type of metadata on your Node and components can be added post-publication by the community - [**attestations**](https://docs.desci.com/community)**.** Read more about these and how community attestations and curations work [here](https://docs.desci.com/community), and how to claim them for published work [here](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/claim-attestations). 

Further information on these extra options and how to add them can be found here:

* [add-license](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/add-license "mention")
* [add-metadata](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/add-metadata "mention")
* [add-contributors](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/add-contributors "mention")
* [add-comments](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/add-comments "mention")
* [claim-attestations](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/claim-attestations "mention") 
  * e.g. by [submitting for curation](https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/submit-for-curation) by a community.
