# BigQuery Analytics Hub

Analytics Hub is a mechanism for sharing datasets between BigQuery users. Google's official product documentation for Analytics Hub is [here](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/analytics-hub-introduction#subscriber_workflow)

### Subscriber Workflow

- A dataset publisher creates and shares a Linked Dataset with the subscriber - this essentially becomes a symbolic link to the original dataset that the subscriber can access.
- In this model the person querying the data pays for it.
