034 * RESTful method annotation to be used for the FHIR <a

036 * Operations</a> which have to do with adding tags.
037 * <ul>
038 * <li>
039 * To add tag(s) <b>to the given resource
040 * instance</b>, this annotation should contain a {@link #type()} attribute
041 * specifying the resource type, and the method should have a parameter of type
042 * {@link IdDt} annotated with the {@link IdParam} annotation, as well as 
043 * a parameter of type {@link TagList}. Note that this {@link TagList} parameter
044 * does not need to contain a complete list of tags for the resource, only a list
045 * of tags to be added. Server implementations must not remove tags based on this
046 * operation.
047 * Note that for a
048 * server implementation, the {@link #type()} annotation is optional if the
049 * method is defined in a <a href=
050 * "https://hapifhir.io/hapi-fhir/docs/server_plain/resource_providers.html"
051 * >resource provider</a>, since the type is implied.</li>
052 * <li>
053 * To add tag(s) on the server <b>to the given version of the
054 * resource instance</b>, this annotation should contain a {@link #type()}
055 * attribute specifying the resource type, and the method should have a
056 * parameter of type {@link IdDt} annotated with the {@link VersionIdParam}
057 * annotation, <b>and</b> a parameter of type {@link IdDt} annotated with the
058 * {@link IdParam} annotation, as well as 
059 * a parameter of type {@link TagList}. Note that this {@link TagList} parameter
060 * does not need to contain a complete list of tags for the resource, only a list
061 * of tags to be added. Server implementations must not remove tags based on this
062 * operation.
