Metadata tags

As objects are brought onto the platform, trac automatically attaches metadata for classification, version-control and to record the object’s lineage.

The following tags are also assigned by users, to aid object discovery.

Tag	Use	Type	Applies to
NAME	A short meaningful label for the object	String	All
DESCRIPTION	A fuller description with enough information to differentiate it from similar objects	String	All
KEY	A unique descriptor used when searching for functionally interchangeable objects	String	Data, models, files
SHOW IN SEARCH?	Objects are never deleted but setting this tag to N hides them. Changing it back to Y un-hides them	Boolean (default = Y)	All
BUSINESS SEGMENT	An optional tag which reflects hierarchical organisation-specific identifiers	String (categorical)	All

Note

metadata model is configurable, so additional tags can be defined when setting-up your installation (see Business segments).
