'''Tags''' are the fundamental units of the internal content and resource management systems used by [[Bungie]] in the ''Halo'' games. Various pieces of data including objects and textures are represented using tags. They are effectively the ''Halo'' implementation of [[wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]] [[wikipedia:Resource (Windows)|program resources]], and can also be compared to [[wikipedia:computer files|computer files]] in a [[wikipedia:file system|file system]] and tags in an [[wikipedia:XML|XML]] document. | '''Tags''' are the fundamental units of the internal content and resource management systems used by [[Bungie]] in the ''Halo'' games.
