Tagging certain objects with contact, copyright, etc

I have been thinking of getting into the habit of making sure that 
certain kinds of objects I create are tagged with some info.

For objects, I'm thinking of the mainStack in stackfiles, back script 
buttons and custom controls, anything that might have a life of its own.

I was thinking of tagging with read-only properties.

The information might be these:
Copyright
Contact Info
Long Unique Name

In might also include these:
file name (whatever this means)
Description

I think if these are in multiple properties, then they should share a 
prefix in the property name.

Later, I expect to add other read-only properties applicable to the 
type of object.

Is there a common practice that already addresses this?

If folks are already doing this, I don't want to go off in another 
direction (unless there is good reason).
