Type-Specific Attributes
In addition to the generic attributes listed in the table above, each asset type can have its own type-specific search criteria, based on the type-specific attributes of the asset type. For example an asset might include attributes that do the following:
Classify the asset according to one or more taxonomies
Describe an asset's relationship to other assets or registry objects
Provide links to program documentation, sample code, usage notes and so forth
The type-specific attributes are shown in the Browse Further Attributes dialog.
For example, if you select the asset type Service in the Types field, the Browse Further Attributes dialog contains search criteria like SOAP-Version (String), which refers to the service's type-specific attribute SOAP-Version which has the data type String.
Depending on the data type of the type-specific attribute you choose, the Browse Further Attributes dialog changes to reflect the search possibilities for that data type.
For a general information on type-specific attribute's data types, see
Attribute Data Types.
