Tagged Value Concept

[richib]

 

I am not getting the EA tagged value concept. Basically because I am blinded by the RSA 7.0 concept. In RSA the tagged values are strongly bound to the stereotype. I.e. the stereotype "fullyQualifiedJavaTypeName" has a tagged value of "type" with type String. In this case when attaching the stereotype to an element the tagged value needs to be provided as well. This is mandatory. To fill the value it appears as a property of the element in the section stereotype.

In EA I am getting the impression that tagged values can be attached to any element and they do not have a namespace like in RA where the stereotype is the implicit namespace. E.g. two stereotypes A and B having a tagged value "vendor". Now A.vendor and B.vendor are treated separately in RSA.

Any article I can read or documentation suggested?

Well, the help is quite explicit on how to use Tagged Values. Basically you are right in your assumption. You can bind any tag to any element. There is quite some configuration how the contents of a tag can appear. Further you can write Profiles to create tags automatically with certain elements. See also the help on Profiles.
