store query with dataset #10

Closed hschellman closed 1 year ago

hschellman commented 1 year ago

Can the query be optionally stored with the dataset. I realize it won't generate the same list but it is very useful information in figuring out what a dataset is and in making similar sets.

Right now I just reproduce the query in the description but that is clumsy and error prone.

I am not sure I see the point. The same query, if repeated, may produce different results. So storing the query with a dataset does not guarantee that the same dataset will be produced by the query again.

Can the query be stored in the dataset metadata ?

Besides, I am not sure I see the point in creating datasets, which require the query, by which the dataset was produced, to understand what the dataset is. I need to understand this use case better.
