Entry Metadata. A Data Catalog Entry resource represents
another resource in Google Cloud Platform (such as a BigQuery dataset or
a Pub/Sub topic), or outside of Google Cloud Platform. Clients can use
the linked_resource
field in the Entry resource to refer to the
original resource ID of the source system.
An Entry resource contains resource details, such as its schema. An Entry can also be used to attach flexible metadata, such as a Tag.
The resource this metadata entry refers to. For Google Cloud
Platform resources, linked_resource
is the full name of
the resource <https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/resource_na
mes#full_resource_name>
__. For example, the
linked_resource
for a table resource from BigQuery is: -
//bigquery.googleapis.com/projects/projectId/datasets/datasetI
