Controlling Tagging

By default, no content items may be tagged. You can enable tagging on a per-content type basis by adding ui:tag-scheme elements to a publication's content-type resource. Adding a ui:tag-scheme element to a content-type element enables access to one tag structure. You can enable access to several tag structures by adding multiple ui:tag-scheme elements.

For example:

<content-type name="news">
  <ui:tag-scheme>tag:iptc-topics.escenic.com,2002</ui:tag-scheme>
  <ui:tag-scheme>tag:folksonomy.escenic.com,2002</ui:tag-scheme>
...
</content-type>

Note that the content of a ui:tag-scheme element must be the scheme of one of the site's tag structures. A tag structure scheme is a URI that uniquely identifies the tag structure. The schemes of all tag structures defined on a Content Engine site are listed on the escenic-admin application's tag management page (see Manage Tag Structures).

The tagging functionality in Content Studio is exposed in a content editor Tags tab. If you edit a content item whose content type definition contains no ui:tag-scheme elements, then no Tags tab is displayed and tagging is not possible. If the content item's type definition does contain one or more ui:tag-scheme, elements, then a Tags tab is displayed, and you will have access to tags belonging to the specified tag structures.
