Application | An application represents an application as a measurable object. Each application snapshot is a measure point of an application. |
Application Snapshot | An application snapshot is a measure point of an application. It is made up of a set of data (results, objects, etc.) computed and frozen at a given time |
Attachment | A JSON content attached to an application, it can be a list of frameworks, a survey, etc. |
Category | A tag belongs to a category. A category is a set of tags. |
Domain | A domain is an identifier of a database. It is defined with a schema name and a connection string to a DBMS. |
Module | A module represents a module as a measurable object. Each snapshot of a module is part of an application snapshot. |
Module Snapshot | A module snapshot is a measure point of a module. It is made up of a set of data (results, objects, etc.) computed and frozen at a given time. A module snapshot is a part of an application snapshot. |
System | A system represents a group of applications. |
Tag | A tag is a keyword that can be assigned to an application. |

Application to Tags Assignments
Description
A tag is used to filter a set of applications when results are requested. It is up to the REST client to filter applications according to tags using the service listing all applications.
The purpose of the REST API is to minimize request & response flows between client and server relying on client cache management (which is based on "304 NOT MODIFIED" response status). Therefore the client navigator should emit the same requests to the server. If ever the server has been restarted then the client cache would be refreshed.
Therefore, the client should rely on a subset of requests. For instance, to get all applications TQI on a subset of applications, requests TQI for all applications, then filter the results.
Notions
- Tag: A tag is a keyword.
- Category: A tag belongs to a category. A category is a set of tags.
- Application to Tags assignment: A tag can be assigned to an application, but cannot be assigned to a specific application snapshot.
Rules
- Common categories, tags, and assignments are created for all users.
- Technologies are similar to tags but are not tags. It is up to the webapp to display these data as tags.
- When an application is not assigned to any tag of a category, then the webapp considers this application attached to the "other" tag for this category. It is up to the webapp to provide this feature.
- Tags labels cannot be translated
Tags and categories label can be changed.

Category
Description
A regular category is a container of tags.
A parent category is a container of other categories in order to organize categories as a tree structure.
Web Services may raise errors if following constraints are not verified:
- A category must define items (at least one tag or one category)
- A category has a unique name
- A category cannot define both items and categories
- For a given category a tag has a unique name
- Parent categories MUST NOT define circular relationship
- A category cannot be empty
