Tags macro
The Tags Smartlet displays either a cloud or list of thesaurus terms which are linked to other items. Thesaurus terms which are more popular or more relevant, will be displayed using a larger font size.
The SmartletConfig item contains a default configuration setting for which thesaurus should be used, and is set to KWD.
By default, when clicking a specific tag, an overview will be displayed of items having that tag (that is, items which have a thesaurus relation to that specific thesaurus term).

Technical details
The Tags Smartlet uses the Tags SXML macro internally. This macro executes a sql statement (using the view vwThesaurus, the active channel's view and the table ContentsThesterms) to get a list of thesaurus terms which are related to content items within your site. Which thesaurus should be used for this purpose can be specified using the thesaurus parameter.
Dependent on the weight param (tag relevance mode), the thesaurus terms/records are either ordered by the number of items which have a relation to each term (Relevance), or the number of pageviews (using a join to the PageRequest table) of items having a relation to each term (Popularity).
Terms with a higher number of item relations or higher number of pageviews will be displayed using a larger font size.
