      <p>OPERATION: Add profiles, tags, and security labels to a resource</p>
      <div>
        <p>This operation takes a meta, and adds the profiles, tags, and security labels found in
           it to the nominated resource.   This operation can also be used on historical entries
           - to update them without creating a different historical version</p>

        <p>This operation is special in that executing this operation does not cause a new version

           in meta does not affect the meaning of the resource, and the security labels (in particular)
           are used to apply access rules to existing versions of resources</p>
