A tagset is a list of part-of-speech tags (POS tags for short), i.e. labels used to indicate the part of speech and sometimes also other grammatical categories (case, tense etc.) of each token in a text corpus.

Tagset used by the system MADA  (Morphological Analysis and Disambiguation for Arabic) is available in Arabic corpora annotated tools developed at Center for Computational Learning Systems, Columbia University.
