Keywords aid the search for (6.2) (dicmgr user) Classification Classes.
Note:
Since only one name can be defined for a Classification Class, Keywords offer the possibility to assign more alternative names for a Class.
Example:
The ECLASS 8.1 Class 23-11-01-04 "Hammer head bolt" has the Keyword "T-head bolt" as an alternative name for the same product group, so that users who speak of a "T-head bolt" can find the same Class that is officially named "Hammer head bolt".
Keywords must not have the same meaning as the preferred name of the Classification Class (e.g. Class: pliers, keyword: pipe pliers).
Keywords must not match the preferred name of the Class they belong to. Keywords must not be too general in character (the Keyword 'school' would be too vague for a Class named 'ballpoint pen'). Keywords are preferably to be entered in singular form.
Keywords cannot be translated 1:1 and therefore vary in the language versions.
