Tags

A Tag is a simple concept that can be used to categorize other concepts. It has a title, an optional color and an optional description.

val relevantForArchitecture: Tag = ea has Tag(title = "relevantForArchitecture")

val marketingTag: Tag = ea describes Tag(title = "marketingWorkstream", color=Color(255,100,100)) as { it =>
  it has Description("Indicates concepts considered part of the marketing workstream")
}

val townplanner: Tool =
  ea describes Tool(title = "Innovenso Townplanner") as { it =>
    ...
    it isTagged relevantForArchitecture
  }
