+A "tag" is a label that can be added to a CADF Event Record to qualify or
+categorize an event.
+
+Tags provide a powerful mechanism for adding domain-specific identifiers and
+classifications to CADF Event Records that can be referenced by the CADF Query
+Interface. This allows customers to construct custom reports or views on the
+event data held by a provider for a specific domain of interest. A CADF Event
+Record can have multiple tags that enable cross-domain analysis. \ No newline at end of file
