An external dataset is a "dataset" that does not directly store data within Socrata, but rather stores a reference to data elsewhere. The reference to the external dataset is stored within the metadata object, in the accessPoints member. To create an ExternalDataset, simply create the ExternalDataset, Set the access points and then save it using the SodaDdl methods (createDataset) The ExternalDatasetBuilder can make this easier.
