A reference dataset is a reference to a recipe's output, which can been added to a flow other than the one where the recipe is located.

View for Unstructured Datasets

An unstructured dataset is an imported dataset that does not contain any initial parsing steps. All parsing steps must be added through recipes that are applied to the dataset. During the import process, you disable the initial steps that are applied to imported datasets. Instead, these steps are added as the first steps of the auto-generated recipe that appears with the dataset in Flow View.
