Managing Asset Tags

Tags are keywords used to identify the business meaning of data. They help you classify and describe assets for easy search.

Tags can be defined and associated with technical assets for better asset management. For example, you can tag a table as the SDI source data layer or DWI data integration layer.

Tags and Classifications

Tags are highly related keywords that help you classify and describe assets for easy retrieval.

Classification is the process of categorizing assets by category, level, or nature. Classification is top-down. Assets are classified according to certain standards.

The table below lists the differences between tags and classifications.
