Class TagProperties

java.lang.Object
org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.openmetadata.properties.feedback.TagProperties
public class TagProperties extends Object
TagProperties stores information about a tag connected to an asset. InformalTags provide informal classifications to assets and can be added at any time.

InformalTags have the userId of the person who added the tag, the name of the tag and its description.

The content of the tag is a personal judgement (which is why the user's id is in the tag) and there is no formal review of the tags. However, they can be used as a basis for crowd-sourcing Glossary terms.

Private InformalTags are only returned to the user that created them.
