Tagging

1 Definition​

Process of adding tags or annotations to components of unstructured data at a granular level to prepare it for analysis, enabling deeper insight beyond broad categorization.

Notes​

see metadata; Metadata tagging has traditionally been a manual and often laborious process. It was mainly executed through a rule-based system encoded by a specific knowledge worker or subject matter expert (SME) alongside software engineers. Rule-based tagging focuses on tagging recognizable elements clearly defined within the content.
