Active keywords

[stuartmcalpine]

There is an active table for keywords. However its not actually utilized in the code.

Do we want to use this? i.e., a user cannot tag a dataset with a "inactive" keyword.

• What happens to datasets with this keyword tagged that has then become inactivate?
• Should inactive keywords not come up in searches by default ?

There is an active table for keywords

I think you must mean column, not table.

I think ultimately we do want to use it as you describe. We should supply routines to activate and deactivate keywords. Certainly the state of production keywords can only be changed with sufficient privilege. Even system keywords in the working schema should probably be protected. And inactive keywords should not come up in searches by default, but ideally there should be a way to explicitly ask for them.
