Annotations: Tags, Topics & Data Attributes
About
Tags, Contents and Data Attributes can be attached to various data objects in TaxonWorks via the Radial Annotator {radial-annotator}.
| TaxonWorks term | What it does | Attached to |
|---|---|---|
| Keyword (applied as a Tag) | Flags a record with a single reusable label | almost any record |
| Topic | Says what a cited source, or a block of text, is about | Citations, Content |
| Predicate (the name of a Data attribute) | The name half of a custom name → value fact | almost any record |
Manage the terms in TaxonWorks under Tasks → Manage controlled vocabulary terms.
Contents
Contents are longer texts that are used to convey free-text information. Usually we apply them to an OTU, either via the Quick Forms radial {quick-forms}, or via task Content editor.
Note that Contents need to be published to be visible on TaxonPages. Use the Publish/Unpublish toggle.
It is possible to add depictions, citations and more annotations, but they are currently not read by TaxonPages (needs confirmation).
