Tagging is included in web application to ease maintenance of large amount of information stored in a web application. With no mention of requirement specification or design document for tagging software, academically or otherwise, integrating tagging software in a web application is a tedious task. In this paper, a framework is presented for integrating tagging software into a web application. The framework is for use during different stages of software development life cycle. The requirement component of framework presents a weighted requirement checklist that aids the user in deciding requirement for the tagging software in a web application, from among mandatory and optional requirements. The design component facilitates the developer in understanding the design of existing tagging software, modifying it or developing a new one. Also, the framework helps in verification and validation of tagging software integrated in a web application.
