According to wikipedia article, “A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to a piece of information (such as an internet bookmark, digital image, or computer file). This kind of metadata helps describes an item and allows it to be found again by browsing or searching.”

See also Tag (Metadata) article for more information on Tagging.

With Engineering Village tagging you can add, edit and share tags you assigned to records. Tagging records on Engineering Village requires having a personal account.
