Tag Controller

Introduction

Well-defined tagging helps to quickly locate and aggregate mediacontainers. Tags are more flexible than folders but can be used as folders.

Tags can be added to mediacontainers manually. But tags can also be added automatically through object detection or by extracting IPTC keywords.

Tags can also be automatically translated (this is especially helpful for object detection, which returns tags exclusively in English).

For tag translations see TagLanguage Controller (TODO: Link)

Tag flags

Tags can have a flag, that tells you something about the state of the tag:

• flag 0 -> this tag is active and has been added or updated by a human
• flag 10 -> this tag is active but has been added by a machine (e.g. object detection, IPTC keywords, etc)
• flag 1 -> this tag is in trash
• flag 20 -> this tag has been permanently deleted. Even if object detection, etc tries to add it again, it will not succeed.

Make a suggested tag (flag 10) a real tag (flag 0)

AdmiralCloud collects tags from different sources (e.g. IPTC data, object detection, etc). All discovered tags are added to the customer's tag catalog with flag 10 (suggested tags). If you want to "accept" the tag as real tag, the flag is set to 0. Mediacontainer-to-tag relations are not affected by this change.

Another way to make a suggested tag a real tag is by accepting a suggested tag for a mediacontainer as humanly assigned tag. This operation will update the tag to flag 0.
