LF-Tag best practices

Integrating with LF-Tags

When integrating with LF-Tags, there are few suggestions on how to successfully adopt LF-Tags. See the following list of advice:

  • Define your LF-Tag ontology for your current and future needs. Adding or changing the ontology will require additional work in the future.

  • Make note of the limitations that currently exists. For example, LF-Tags currently does not support tagging resources with multiple values from the same LF-Tag. See the limitations for details.

  • Keep the tagging ontology as simple as possible. Having too many LF-Tags can make it difficult to manage and track permissions.

  • Document the tagging ontology and share with data stewards so that they are very clear when/how to use the LF-Tags.

  • LF-Tag permissioning and Named Resource policies can exist together. The effective permissions for a user is the union of permissions of all named resource policies and LF-Tag policies.
