From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know KDE's Dolphin has this built in, but I'm so afraid to use it because I imagine it'll take ages, and it wouldn't be recognized by anything else. 😬
I think it might store tags in linux file system xattrs so other software (or scripts) could access and index it.
Just to add...because xattr it's also "easy" (for some definition of easy ;)) to add/modify tags from the shell making mass-tagging feasible (as requested by OP). Second answer here should give a decent starting point....
