'''Semantic tags''' are codes that provide metadata to pieces of information. For example, consider a rental DVD in a video store. The content of the movie itself if the ''information'', but the metadata related to that DVD could include:
* Name of the film's director
* Names of the actors in the film
* Length in minutes
* Year of first release
* Number of times the DVD unit has been rented in the past 12 months
* Whether the DVD unit is "in" the store or "out" with a customer
''For information about '''semantic tags''' on the MyWikiBiz site, see [[Help:Semantic tagging]].''
Typically in [[semantic web]] notation, semantic tags take on two forms -- attributes and relations. Note the difference between the attribute link (:=), and the relation link (::). Some examples:
:Attributes:
::<nowiki>[[employees:=5]]</nowiki><br>
::<nowiki>[[founded:=1996]]</nowiki><br>
::<nowiki>[[sector:=pizza]]</nowiki><br>
::<nowiki>[[sector:=restaurant]]</nowiki><br>
::<nowiki>[[sector:=pizzaria]]</nowiki><br>
::<nowiki>[[sector:=pasta]]</nowiki><br>
::<nowiki>[[city:=Berlin]]</nowiki><br>
:Relations
::<nowiki>[[partner of::Dia Strala]]</nowiki><br>
::<nowiki>[[competitor of::Pizza Express]]</nowiki>
