Define: Tag

Tag: A tag is generic term for a language element descriptor. For example, in HTML there is the meta tag. The set of tags for a document or other unit of information is sometimes referred to as markup, a term that pre-dates the computer, when writers and copy editors marked up document elements with copy editing symbols or shorthand.
