Component body

The Dataset module is for grouping nodes together in sets. A typical use case for this module is if you are importing data from a 3rd party in to nodes and you wish to know if a piece of data is no longer in a feed. If you update all the existing items in the feed, as you parse it, so they are in a new set, then any items that were not in the feed this time will be in an older set, so you know you can delete them because they are no longer valid. Dataset includes functions for performing bulk actions on nodes in a given set or sets.

Please note there is no UI for this module. It is intended as a developer tool only. All the API functions this module provides have strong in-line documentation so the documentation *is* the code.

Drupal 7

There is a Drupal 7 development snapshot available for testing. It was a fairly straightforward port, so we expect it to work right out of the box, but it is not fully tested yet. If you use this module, feedback would be gratefully received. Once tested, we can create a 7.x-1.0 release.
