A tag is a keyword or phrase associated with a resource that helps classify its content. When a resource is submitted, the submitter has the option to assign resource tags. Popular tags are displayed in a tag cloud.
A tag cloud is a visual depiction of tags used on a website. Tags are displayed alphabetically, with more frequently used tags depicted in a larger or bolder font. Clicking a tag within a tag cloud will display the resources to which that tag is assigned.
