Re: How to markup a tag for an item (taxonomy)

Hi Kevin,

If you have a set of tag values, or are looking to create one, DefinedTerm
<https://schema.org/DefinedTerm> could be used to describe each term (tag)
and its value, collecting them together in a DefinedTermSet
<https://schema.org/DefinedTermSet>.

As to associating them with an entity description, much would depend on the
type of entities you would be referring to.

If they are CreativeWork <https://schema.org/CreativeWork>s or subtypes,
the about <https://schema.org/about> property would be appropriate.  In
other situations, category <https://schema.org/category> may be useful.
