 new log file and see that the potential file changed, which could
 affect your simulation results.
 
+A small amount of metadata is included in the first line of each file
+in order to track the provenance of each file. The metadata is indicated
+by a keyword followed by white space, followed by the metadata,
+followed by whitespace. The metadata is intended to be straightforward and
+human-readable, while still conforming to a standard format.
+
+DATE: Format is "yyyy-mm-dd". This indicates the date of a
+significant change to the file. Multiple entries can 
+appear in reverse chronological order. As described
+above, the first of these will be printed to the 
+screen and log file when it is read
+by a LAMMPS input script. 
+
+CONTRIBUTOR: Format is "name[, email address]". This indicates the person
+who contributed the file and/or who is best able to provide more details
+about its provenance.
+
+CITATION: Format is "surname[[, surname] and surname], Publication abbreviation
+with spaces and no periods, volume, page[-page], (year)"
+
+COMMENT: This one is optional and is used to hold any other text that can not go elsewhere.
+
+If the first line of the file is always skipped by 
+the file reader,
+then the first line should begin with the DATE keyword. 
+If the file format 
+supports comment lines, then the first line 
+should be a comment line with the metadata
+e.g. "# DATE: 2010-01-01..."
+If the first line of the file is required to 
+begin with data, then the metadata will
+be appended to the first line e.g. "7 DATE: 2010-01-01..."
+
 The prefix of each file indicates the element(s) it is parameterized
 for.  An additional lower-case identification tag may be appended.
