I need a word that fits this case:
I have a book; and any User may apply some tags to it, like 'dark' or 'happy' [..]
Anyway, how would I call this action, using a short term?

Haha, until I saw your response I nearly edited the OP's title to change 'category' to 'categorize' :) – Robusto Jun 2 '11 at 14:46
