    Why not make a pixel art modifier so they become like terrain or game assets? And here is what I came up with. You build the pixel art as you wish. Then you modify it so it becomes a design.

    Most teams design the historian first and connect it to a Unified Namespace later. This article argues the reverse: the UNS owns identity, so it should dictate the historian schema. That means storing tag identity in a relational namespace table with surrogate keys and keeping history in a narrow hypertable. The result: tag renames, hierarchy changes, and churn happen without rewriting history.
