Tag URI

Tag URI is a universal unique identifier protocol commonly used in various internet-related technologies and associated with data storage and transfer systems such as YAML.

According to RFC 4151, a tag is a type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) designed to meet the following requirements:

  1. Identifiers are likely to be unique across space and time, and come from a practically inexhaustible supply.
  2. Identifiers are relatively convenient for humans to mint (create), read, type, remember etc.
  3. No central registration is necessary, at least for holders of domain names or email addresses; and there is negligible cost to mint each new identifier.
  4. The identifiers are independent of any particular resolution scheme.

Famous quotes containing the word tag:

    “I believe in the flesh and the appetites,
    Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me
    is a miracle.

    Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touch’d from,
    The scent of these arm-pits aroma finer than prayer,
    This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
