ingatagcreationDate

In a hypothetical metadata schema, ingatagcreationDate is a field used to record the moment a tag instance named ingatag was created within a repository or dataset. The term uses camelCase and commonly appears in JSON and other code-oriented schemas. It is not a universal standard but a commonly cited example name in documentation and API designs.

Purpose and usage: The field provides provenance and supports auditing and lifecycle tracking for tags. It is typically populated at tag creation and may be treated as immutable, ensuring that the original creation moment remains a reliable reference.

Format and data type: The value is usually a string in ISO 8601 format, such as 2024-08-01T14:30:00Z, capturing date and time in UTC. Some implementations store only the date (YYYY-MM-DD) or include a local offset.

Relation to other metadata: ingatagcreationDate is commonly paired with related fields such as ingatagmodifiedDate, ingatagid, and ingatagnamespace as part of a tag metadata object. Naming may vary; alternatives include ingatagCreationDate or ingatag_creation_date depending on the schema.

Examples and considerations: In a content catalog, this field helps order tags by age and supports auditing. Timezone handling, clock synchronization, and data integrity are important to avoid discrepancies across distributed systems.
