CATEGORIES VS. KEYWORDS ~ A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
| November 07th, 2011 | by Murat |
One of the frequently asked questions by Daminion customers is – what are the differences between Categories in and Keywords in general and in Daminion particularly.
Categories are broad & general, high level views that allow the user to easily identify a particular group of images (or documents).
Keywords are more specific, low level descriptions, offering a finer view of what an image (or document) might be about.
If you have an idea what you want but don’t know the specifics you can browse categories to see what ”jumps out”. Otherwise you can search using keywords to find the image you need.
In most cases a picture belongs to a few categories and contains a lot of keywords.
