## Implementations

### Local Tag Persistence - (SanteDB.Core.Api)

Tag persistence service for tags - is used as a fallback as it is slower than using the ADO or remote tag service

#### Service Registration

```markup
...
<section xsi:type="ApplicationServiceContextConfigurationSection" threadPoolSize="4">
	<serviceProviders>
		...
		<add type="SanteDB.Core.Services.Impl.LocalTagPersistenceService, SanteDB.Core.Api, Version=3.0.1980.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
		...
	</serviceProviders>
```

### TagPersistenceService - (SanteDB.Persistence.Data)

Tag persistence service

#### Service Registration

```markup
...
<section xsi:type="ApplicationServiceContextConfigurationSection" threadPoolSize="4">
	<serviceProviders>
		...
		<add type="SanteDB.Persistence.Data.Services.Persistence.TagPersistenceService, SanteDB.Persistence.Data, Version=3.0.1980.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />
		...
	</serviceProviders>
```

## Example Implementation

```csharp
/// Example Implementation
using SanteDB.Core.Services;
/// Other usings here
public class MyTagPersistenceService : SanteDB.Core.Services.ITagPersistenceService { 
	public String ServiceName => "My own ITagPersistenceService service";
	/// <summary>
	/// Save tag to source key
	/// </summary>
	public void Save(Guid sourceKey,ITag tag){
		throw new System.NotImplementedException();
	}
	/// <summary>
	/// Save tag to source key
	/// </summary>
	public void Save(Guid sourceKey,String tagName,String tagValue){
		throw new System.NotImplementedException();
	}
}
```
