Dataset
The dataset entity is one the most important entities in the metadata model. They represent collections of data that are typically represented as Tables or Views in a database (e.g. BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift etc.), Streams in a stream-processing environment (Kafka, Pulsar etc.), bundles of data found as Files or Folders in data lake systems (S3, ADLS, etc.).
Identity
Datasets are identified by three pieces of information:
- The platform that they belong to: this is the specific data technology that hosts this dataset. Examples are
hive,bigquery,redshiftetc. See dataplatform for more details. - The name of the dataset in the specific platform. Each platform will have a unique way of naming assets within its system. Usually, names are composed by combining the structural elements of the name and separating them by
.. e.g. relational datasets are usually named as<db>.<schema>.<table>, except for platforms like MySQL which do not have the concept of aschema; as a result MySQL datasets are named<db>.<table>. In cases where the specific platform can have multiple instances (e.g. there are multiple different instances of MySQL databases that have different data assets in them), names can also include instance ids, making the general pattern for a name<platform_instance>.<db>.<schema>.<table>. - The environment or fabric in which the dataset belongs: this is an additional qualifier available on the identifier, to allow disambiguating datasets that live in Production environments from datasets that live in Non-production environments, such as Staging, QA, etc. The full list of supported environments / fabrics is available in FabricType.pdl.
An example of a dataset identifier is urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:redshift,userdb.public.customer_table,PROD).
Important Capabilities
Schemas
Datasets support flat and nested schemas. Metadata about schemas are contained in the schemaMetadata aspect. Schemas are represented as an array of fields, each identified by a specific field path.
Field Paths explained
Fields that are either top-level or expressible unambiguously using a . based notation can be identified via a v1 path name, whereas fields that are part of a union need further disambiguation using [type=X] markers.
Taking a simple nested schema as described below:
{
"type": "record",
"name": "Customer",
"fields":[
{
"type": "record",
"name": "address",
"fields": [
{ "name": "zipcode", "type": string},
{"name": "street", "type": string}]
}],
}
- v1 field path:
address.zipcode - v2 field path:
[version=2.0].[type=struct].address.[type=string].zipcode". More examples and a formal specification of a v2 fieldPath can be found here.
Understanding field paths is important, because they are the identifiers through which tags, terms, documentation on fields are expressed. Besides the type and name of the field, schemas also contain descriptions attached to the individual fields, as well as information about primary and foreign keys.
The following code snippet shows you how to add a Schema containing 3 fields to a dataset.

Tags and Glossary Terms
Datasets can have Tags or Terms attached to them. Read this blog to understand the difference between tags and terms so you understand when you should use which.
Adding Tags or Glossary Terms at the top-level to a dataset
At the top-level, tags are added to datasets using the globalTags aspect, while terms are added using the glossaryTerms aspect.
Here is an example for how to add a tag to a dataset. Note that this involves reading the currently set tags on the dataset and then adding a new one if needed.

need_write = False
if current_tags:
if tag_to_add not in [x.tag for x in current_tags.tags]:
# tags exist, but this tag is not present in the current tags
current_tags.tags.append(TagAssociationClass(tag_to_add))
need_write = True

)
graph.emit(event)
log.info(f"Tag {tag_to_add} added to dataset {dataset_urn}")

Here is an example of adding a term to a dataset. Note that this involves reading the currently set terms on the dataset and then adding a new one if needed.

Adding Tags or Glossary Terms to columns / fields of a dataset
Tags and Terms can also be attached to an individual column (field) of a dataset. These attachments are done via the schemaMetadata aspect by ingestion connectors / transformers and via the editableSchemaMetadata aspect by the UI.
This separation allows the writes from the replication of metadata from the source system to be isolated from the edits made in the UI.
Here is an example of how you can add a tag to a field in a dataset using the low-level Python SDK.

Ownership
Ownership is associated to a dataset using the ownership aspect. Owners can be of a few different types, DATAOWNER, PRODUCER, DEVELOPER, CONSUMER, etc. See OwnershipType.pdl for the full list of ownership types and their meanings. Ownership can be inherited from source systems, or additionally added in DataHub using the UI. Ingestion connectors for sources will automatically set owners when the source system supports it.

curl 'http://localhost:8080/entities/urn%3Ali%3Adataset%3A(urn%3Ali%3AdataPlatform%3Apostgres,bar,PROD)'
curl 'http://localhost:8080/entities/urn%3Ali%3AdataJob%3A(urn%3Ali%3AdataFlow%3A(spark,Flow1,prod),Task1)'
The below queries can be used to find the upstream/downstream datasets/fields of a dataset/datajob.

Documentation, Links etc.
Documentation for Datasets is available via the datasetProperties aspect (typically filled out via ingestion connectors when information is already present in the source system) and via the editableDatasetProperties aspect (filled out via the UI typically)
Links that contain more knowledge about the dataset (e.g. links to Confluence pages) can be added via the institutionalMemory aspect.
Here is a simple script that shows you how to add documentation for a dataset including some links to pages using the low-level Python SDK.

Notable Exceptions
The following overloaded uses of the Dataset entity exist for convenience, but will likely move to fully modeled entity types in the future.
- OpenAPI endpoints: the GET API of OpenAPI endpoints are currently modeled as Datasets, but should really be modeled as a Service/API entity once this is created in the metadata model.
- DataHub's Logical Entities (e.g.. Dataset, Chart, Dashboard) are represented as Datasets, with sub-type Entity. These should really be modeled as Entities in a logical ER model once this is created in the metadata model.
