Introduction to Tags

Understanding key Tag concepts

PreviousInbuilt dataNextTag Basics

Last updated 11 months ago

Overview

Tags are fundamental to how Taglo software works.

As their name suggests, they can be used for "tagging", helping to categorise and search items, but with some extra layers of power built in: Tags can be linked to other Tags, creating a network that makes both tagging and searching easier and more effective.

The relationships between Tags makes them useful in other places too, and they form the basis for other concepts in , such as and .

Abstract vs. Concrete

Tags can be one of two types: Abstract and Concrete

Tag type
Description
Example

Abstract

Describes a type of object or concept that there can be one or more instances of (e.g., a city, a country, an apple variety, a Taglo product, an emotional state)

Concrete

Describes a specific instance of an object, or a general concept of which there can be only one instance (e.g., London, United Kingdom, Granny Smith , Models, happiness)

Tag Relationships

Tags can have unlimited parents (and children).

There are two types of parent relationships:

  1. Is A: Links to Abstract parents (e.g., Is A )

  2. Relates To: Links to Concrete parents (e.g., Relates To )

Use the to quickly navigate between Tags and explore relationships

There is also an Is Same As relationship, which should only be used when duplicate Tags have been created and it would be difficult to remove one of the duplicates. In this case each Tag in the Is Same As relationship will inherit all parents of the other.
