Abstract: Methods and systems are described for tagging a resource. In an aspect, a matched tag is created by associating a user identified tag with a tagging criterion that is based on data other than the tag. A determination is made that the tagging criterion is met for each resource in a plurality of resources. Each resource in the plurality is tagged with the tag, in response to the determining. Presentation information is sent to present, via an output device, a tag user interface element representing the tag, that represents the tag, as a target for a user input to initiate an operation that identifies a resource in the plurality.
