[Nexus] tagging specific entries and datasets

[Carlos Pascual Izarra]

Hello,
A requirement for my application is that particular data within a nexus file 
can be "tagged" (something like applying a tag to an email in gmail).

I just wanted to ask here before reinventing the wheel or doing something 
against nexus conventions:

My way of doing it would be:
Put tags as attributes (optionally I would use the attribute value to store an 
index for marking the first index in array data, which is interesting for 
scans)
In order to speed up searches, I also intended to have a /tagindex (NXnotes) 
group at the root level of the Nexus file containing <tagname> branches each 
containing a series of links to the paths that are tagged with <tagname>.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Cheers,

Carlos
