I learned the word "Adornments" while learning the [[JavaScript]] diagramming framework [GoJS](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://gojs.net/latest/&ved=2ahUKEwjb-_7Y14uTAxUMkmoFHdGpOHsQFnoECBgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2BaQmR5MpomFXewbGg0VJj). They use it to mean data-imbued **decorations carrying meaning** on or around components of a diagram.

I'm on the fence about whether a *label* would be an adornment. In practice it doesn't really matter what you call it.
