One of the main features of octue is making using, creating, and sharing scientific datasets easy. There are three
main data classes in the SDK that do this.
- Datafile - :doc:`a single local or cloud file <datafile>` and its metadata.
- Dataset - :doc:`a set of related datafiles <dataset>` that exist in the same location, plus metadata.
- Manifest - :doc:`a set of related datasets <manifest>` that exist anywhere, plus metadata. Typically produced by or for one analysis.
