Terminology: replace "tag" with "release" #57

Closed shevron closed 4 years ago

shevron commented 4 years ago

I think the term "tag" is confusing, despite being the term used by metastore-lib and kind of makes sense from a backend perspective as it follows the git / VCS traditional terminology, from a CKAN perspective it feels confusing, as CKAN datasets already have "tags" that mean something entirely different.

It was suggested previously by @rufuspollock to change our terminology to "releases" instead of "tags", which I think will be more clear to end users who do not come from the git context.
