When to use a dataset and when to use a project
Choose Datasets if you plan to share data or might want to reuse it across different projects. By storing data in a dataset:
Metadata Linkage: All metadata automatically integrates with your project because datasets are linked, not copied.
Automatic Updates: Changes in the original dataset, including updates from sources or metadata alterations by the owner, are seamlessly mirrored.
Opt for a project when your focus is more on the application or analysis process.
