On IoT Catalogue components and validations are characterized by tags, each tag is defined a name a type and in some cases a tag could have a parent-child relation with another tags

This plugin makes this information avaialable by using the following tools available within Liferay

Tags

Enables the characterization of assets by associating an array of keywords with each asset, with this tool is only possible to associate the tag name with the asset, information regarding the tag type and its parent are discarded

Categories

Categories are similar in concept to tags, but they provide a more detailed characterization to assets, making a better usage of the tag system provided by IoT Catalgue

Regarging a tag obtained from IoT Catalogue each category is characterized by:

  • Name: Is the name of the tag
  • Parent category: Parent tag, this could be a recursive relation
  • Vocabulary: Each category is part of a vocabulary and its name is the same as the category type

Example

The following example shows a validation characterized by the "Categories" tool of liferay

Using the "Domain" line

  • "Domain" corresponds to the vocabulary name, tag type on IoT Catalogue
  • "Vegetables" is the name of the category, tag name on IoT Catalogue
  • "Agriculture" is the name of the parent categorye, name of the parent tag on IoT Catalogue
