|  | # Classification
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | *A `Classification` entity contains hierarchical terms called tags used for categorizing and classifying data assets and other entities.* | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Properties
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | - **`id`**: Unique identifier of this entity instance. Refer to *../../type/basic.json#/definitions/uuid*. | ||
|  | - **`name`**: Refer to *tag.json#/definitions/tagName*. | ||
|  | - **`fullyQualifiedName`**: FullyQualifiedName same as `name`. Refer to *../../type/basic.json#/definitions/fullyQualifiedEntityName*. | ||
|  | - **`displayName`** *(string)*: Display Name that identifies this entity. | ||
|  | - **`description`**: Description of the classification. Refer to *../../type/basic.json#/definitions/markdown*. | ||
|  | - **`version`**: Metadata version of the entity. Refer to *../../type/entityHistory.json#/definitions/entityVersion*. | ||
|  | - **`termCount`** *(integer)*: Total number of children tag terms under this classification. This includes all the children in the hierarchy. Minimum: `0`. | ||
|  | - **`updatedAt`**: Last update time corresponding to the new version of the entity in Unix epoch time milliseconds. Refer to *../../type/basic.json#/definitions/timestamp*. | ||
|  | - **`updatedBy`** *(string)*: User who made the update. | ||
|  | - **`href`**: Link to the resource corresponding to the classification. Refer to *../../type/basic.json#/definitions/href*. | ||
|  | - **`usageCount`** *(integer)*: Count of how many times the tags from this classification are used. | ||
|  | - **`changeDescription`**: Change that lead to this version of the entity. Refer to *../../type/entityHistory.json#/definitions/changeDescription*. | ||
|  | - **`deleted`** *(boolean)*: When `true` indicates the entity has been soft deleted. Default: `False`. | ||
|  | - **`provider`**: Refer to *../../type/basic.json#/definitions/providerType*. | ||
|  | - **`disabled`** *(boolean)*: System classifications can't be deleted. Use this flag to disable them. | ||
|  | - **`mutuallyExclusive`** *(boolean)*: Tags under this classification are mutually exclusive. When mutually exclusive is `true` the tags from this classification are used to **classify** an entity. An entity can only be in one class - example, it can only be either `tier1` or `tier2` and not both. When mutually exclusive is `false`, the tags from this classification are used to **categorize** an entity. An entity have multiple tags simultaneously - example a customer can be `newCustomer` and `atRisk` simultaneously. Default: `false`. | ||
