 ## File Format Reference
 
+### SigMF Recording (`.sigmf-data` + `.sigmf-meta`)
+
+Each recording is a pair of files committed together:
+
+| File | Contains |
+|------|---------|
+| `.sigmf-data` | Raw IQ samples as interleaved float32 little-endian (`cf32_le`) — I[0], Q[0], I[1], Q[1], … |
+| `.sigmf-meta` | JSON metadata: `global` (sample rate, frequency, hardware, RIA-specific fields), `captures` (capture start info), `annotations` (time/frequency regions with labels) |
+
+The `annotations[].core:label` field is what the Curator reads to assign class labels when slicing a recording into a dataset. See `Recordings/bpsk_915MHz/device_A_bpsk.sigmf-meta` for an annotated example.
