Tagging data assets
First Claim
1. A computer program product, tangibly stored on a computer-readable storage medium, the program comprising instructions operable to cause a computer to:
- present to a user a storage interface to receive location information from the user to identify a storage location identifier for a data asset to be saved;
link the storage interface to a searchable tag database of concept data elements, asset references, and associations, the concept data elements each representing a concept and having a hierarchy specified by concept hierarchy information, the asset references each comprising a storage location identifier for a corresponding one of a plurality of data assets, and the associations representing different types of relations between one of the plurality of data assets and one of a plurality of concepts represented by the concept data elements;
receive from the user through the storage interface the location information for the data asset to be saved and a selection identifying a concept and a relation between the concept and the data asset to be saved; and
store in the tag database an asset reference for the data asset to be saved and create in the tag database an association representing the identified relation between the data asset to be saved and the identified concept.

Abstract
Computer-implemented methods, program products and data structures for tagging data assets are disclosed. An interface which can receive location information to identify a storage location identifier for a data asset to be saved is presented to a user. The location information for the data asset to be saved and a selection identifying a concept and a relation between the concept and the data asset to be saved are received from the user through the interface. The asset reference for the data asset to be saved is stored in a tag database and an association is created in the tag database representing the relation between the data asset to be saved and the identified concept.

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
presenting to a user a storage interface to receive location information from the user to identify a storage location identifier for a data asset to be saved; linking the storage interface to a searchable tag database of concept data elements, asset references, and associations, the concept data elements each representing a concept and having a hierarchy specified by concept hierarchy information, the asset references each comprising a storage location identifier for a corresponding one of a plurality of data assets, and the associations representing different types of relations between one of the plurality of data assets and one of a plurality of concepts represented by the concept data elements; receiving from the user through the storage interface the location information for the data asset to be saved and a selection identifying a concept and a relation between the concept and the data asset to be saved; and storing in the tag database of a memory an asset reference for the data asset to be saved and creating in the tag database an association representing the identified relation between the data asset to be saved and the identified concept. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer system comprising:
-
a processor; means for presenting a user a storage interface to receive location information from the user to identify a storage location identifier for a data asset to be saved; means for linking the storage interface to a searchable tag database of concept data elements, asset references, and associations, the concept data elements each representing a concept and having a hierarchy specified by concept hierarchy information, the asset references each comprising a storage location identifier for a corresponding one of a plurality of data assets, and the associations representing different types of relations between one of the plurality of data assets and one of a plurality of concepts represented by the concept data elements; means for receiving from the user through the storage interface the location information for the data asset to be saved and a selection identifying a concept and a relation between the concept and the data asset to be saved; and means for storing in the tag database of a memory an asset reference for the data asset to be saved and creating in the tag database an association representing the identified relation between the data asset to be saved and the identified concept.
