externalDatasetConfigOnly returned for external datasets. Describes the storage provider and file path for the dataset.External Dataset Config
relativeIdThe ID of the dataset stripped of the instance name. To identify a dataset in other API calls, you use the numeric value after datasets/.String
upstreamDatasetIdsA list of IDs of upstream datasets.Array[String]
externalIdA case-insensitive ID that must be unique across all datasets. You can specify it at creation time. If not specified, Tamr Core sets it by default.String

For example:

{
  "id": "unify://unified-data/v1/datasets/835",
