In contrast to a remote dataset, a local dataset is a dataset that exists in your local machine. These datasets are usually, but not always, datasets that have been pulled from V7 to your own device so you could perform some kind of specific analysis/training or so you can create a pipeline using the SDK/CLI tools we offer.

Because you can perform operations on your local datasets, it is important to notice that these can diverge from the versions you have in remotely in V7. Both the SDK and the CLI offer options to update the corresponding remote datasets with the data from your local one, as you can check by typing darwin dataset help:
