I think you are talking about the metadata attached with the document. You can add aspect to the document.

See the below link:

Hello!

Sorry, yes: Metadata

I found this: http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/maven-sdk/tutorial/tutorial.html
and this: http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/content/tutorial/tutorial.html

Should I start with this?
And it is not possible in community edition to add own metadata without development?

Thanks for help!

Metadata is data that describes other data. Meta is a prefix that in most information technology usages means "an underlying definition or description."

Metadata summarizes basic information about data, which can make finding and working with particular instances of data easier. For example, author, date created and date modified and file size are examples of very basic document metadata. Having the abilty to filter through that metadata makes it much easier for someone to locate a specific document.
