Tag
Up one level
A tag is a keyword linked with an element such as a website, a picture or a video, as a mean of classification. The classification system is not formal as tags are selected subjectively, from the person that creates it. This style of classification is called “folksonomy” (instead of taxonomy), in order to describe a collaborative categorization of sites, using labels and tags.
