Description

There are fundamental differences between working with Tables/InMemoryDatasets and file-based datasets. There should be content about working with datasets which has an intro covering those differences, and recipes for working with them.

Possible topics:
* Adding new data to a dataset
* Link to reading/writing sections
* Mention of reading only reading in relevant data

This content potentially could be part of other chapters, but is definitely needed
