Content Tagging System #134

Open MR-Alex42 opened 6 years ago

MR-Alex42 commented 6 years ago

I'm aware that Neos already provides the option to tag objects. Currently you can only assign one tag per object which is similar to Unity and is good enough to find instances of objects in the same world. However with more and more objects in the Neos universe I suggest to introduce a tagging system for content in order to be able to search for objects, worlds, etc. Such a system should allow the following:

  1. Assign any number of tags.
  2. Suggest existing tags with autocomplete.
  3. Allow tag based searching with +/- operators for refining the results.
  4. Live visualization of the search results (# of search results, thumbnails).
  5. Should be integrated with the inventory.

A more advanced version could utilize existing classification systems, taxonomies and ontologies for content management.

Thanks!

This is already partly implemented, as worlds and objects uploaded to the cloud can contain list of tags. For inventory items, Neos automatically generates tags from keywords in its hierarchy. But there's no UI to manually assign these, search them and view them.

It'll be really crucial as the hub grows too to help categorize and navigate the content.
