Research direction
Start by reviewing the dataset creation, saving, and registration flow for curator-created datasets, with the requested checkbox and attached example as the starting requirements. Define where the dataset-specific terms are shown and how acceptance is recorded before registration; done means a curator must read and accept them for each dataset.
