+## Tags
+
+Every *rpm* package contains a set of meta-data records describing its
+properties, such as the name, version or file list. Each record is either a
+plain string or number, or an array of either type. These records are stored
+inside a package, in a section called the _header_, and are identified by unique
+names called _tags_. The individual records are also referred to as _tag data_.
+
+You can use these tags in the query format to display the individual properties
+of a package. To obtain a list of all the tags supported by the version of *rpm*
+installed on your system, run the following command:
+
+```
+rpm --querytags

I'd use (or at least mention) 'rpm -v --querytags' here as that outputs the types as well - types which affect what formats can be used on the data.
