I think this is a great feature to have it in Glance. Tagging mechanism for
objects which are not owned by Glance is complimentary to artifact
catalog\repository in Glance. As soon as we keep tags and artifacts
metadata close to each other the end-user will be able to use them
seamlessly.
Artifacts also can use tags to find objects outside of artifact repository
which is always good to have.
In Murano project we use Glance tags to find correct images which are
required by specific applications. It will be great to extend this to other
objects like networks, routers and flavors so that application write can
specify kind of object are required for his application.

Thanks,
Georgy
