Hi, Joe:

>主题: [netmod] Feedback on Self-Describing Data Object Tags in YANG Data Models

>Rob commented at the mic during the 113 meeting that using self-describing tags for specific data instances may be a design of this solution, but the text doesn't state that.  

[Qin] Note that in ietf-data-object-tags, we use 'name' to identify each data object,
Therefore I can self-describing tag can be used either for specific data instance or
schema node, correct me if I am wrong. 

Secondly, in this draft, we define three category of self-describing tags: OPM tag,
metric type tag and multi-source tag.
After having a second thinking of your suggestion and Rob's, it seems OPM tag and metric type tag
might be more suited for being used in the schema level Since when the model is defined in the design stage,
we may have already known it. Please also see above clarification on how I understand how self-describing tag is used for specific data instance. 

As for multi-source tag, I sort of agree with you it can be used at the data instance level,
but I am not sure it cover the use case mentioned below.

>To add to the request to provide such text, it would be useful to have an example showing this.

>One potential use I can think of for this is to use user tags to self-describe the instance of an interface to be "critical" or high-priority for purposes of more aggressive monitoring/telemetry subscriptions, etc.

 [Qin] Thanks Joe for proposed use, See above clarification, I am not sure this case has been covered by one of self-describing tag described above.
maybe we can expand multi-source tag or introduce a new self-describing tag to cover your use case, but one thing I am not sure whether I can enumerate all other use cases in this self-describing tags draft. Comments,suggestions and input?
Joe
