 - The optional attribute @c scheme is a classification scheme the tag belongs to

Examples:
user-generated tag with some magic in the id to make it (probably) unique: id: ACB4C7D5FFFriends name: Friends
mapped from a blog category: id: http://ablog.org/blog#Funny name: Funny
tag from some ontology: id: http://foo/ont/AnimalTaxonomy/mammals, name: Mammals, scheme: http://foo/ont/AnimalTaxonomy
