tagging
Marking with identifiers
Tagging is marking or labeling something for identification or categorization.
In graffiti culture, tagging means spray-painting one's signature or symbol on surfaces: The underpass was covered in tagging.
Online, tagging attaches labels to content for organization or alerts others by linking their names: She keeps tagging me in photos.
In sports, tagging is touching a runner or base to make an out.
