+==== Labels

+Labels can be used to categorize related files and to filter them for a certain use case.
+For example, labels can be used to filter for a certain variant, to filter files which are relevant for SIL or HIL simulation, or to filter for different target operating systems.

+The `<Label>` element contains the following attributes:

 The `role` attribute is used to indicate the purpose of the related file.
 A role can consist of a main role and optionally one or more sub-roles, separated by a forward slash (`/`), that indicate more specific purposes of the related file.
 For example, the role `experiment/smoke-test` indicates that the related file is an experiment file that can be used to perform a smoke test validation of the FMU, while the role `experiment/validation` indicates that the related file is an experiment file that can be used to perform a detailed validation of the FMU.
