some definitions of ‘tag’<\/p>\n

\n
tag (noun)<\/dt>\n
A string (text) that is associated with something else (eg a book, web page, even another ‘tags’). The specifics depend on the implemenation, but a ‘tag’ usually may not contain spaces, and often may only contain [A-za-z] or even [a-z], but sometimes it can contain anything, such as quotation marks or non-ASCII unicode characters. When referring to a ‘tag,’ one is usually referring to a specific string, but sometimes one is actually referring to a set of normalized<\/a> ‘tags’; i.e. with plural words stemmed.<\/dd>\n
\nAn XML or HTML ‘tag’… these are the basic building blocks of XML\n<\/dd>\n
tag (verb)<\/dt>\n
To apply a ‘tags’ (see first noun definition) or multiple tags to something<\/dd>\n
\nTo apply any type of metadata (such as ‘tags’ see first noun defintion) to something… this may or may not be done using ‘tags’ in the XML sense.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

does this clarify the situation? gotta love the last defition<\/p>\n
