摘要： A system and method for displaying representations of tag sources representative of corresponding component devices includes a tag dictionary for defining the tag sources in a predefined object-oriented format. The tag dictionary is comprised of tag definition objects (152), each containing information relating to a given tag source and each being associated with a tag type object (156). A tag browser (144) allows for display and editing of the tag source representations in accordance with the tag definition objects (152). In a preferred implementation each of the representations includes information relating to a predefined set of parameters characterizing the tag sources. The tag browser (144) also optionally includes a tag filter for causing display of those tag source representations comporting with tag selection criteria, and for suppressing display of all other tag source representations.
