Explanation:
It's a record of who did what, drawn up for copyright purposes to establish who gets paid how much of the royalties.

This is from Jane's context:

Fiche généalogique de l'écriture (FGE)

Les producteurs comme les auteurs ont l'obligation d'introduire en annexe de leurs contrats, au moment de leur signature, un historique exhaustif du projet concerné et de le tenir à jour le cas échéant par notification ou par avenant au contrat.
Cet historique engage à la fois la responsabilité des producteurs (liste des auteurs dont la contribution à une œuvre a été retenue et conditions opposables autres auteurs) et des auteurs (obligation de signaler les contrats et options précédents ainsi que les coauteurs ayant déjà collaboré sur le projet).


Some creators think that documenting ownership is a complex process. However, the first step is as simple as a split sheet, a one-page agreement that includes (at the very least) the title of the copyright, the ownership breakdown, the names, writer/publisher information, and signatures of all of your collaborators.
