Q: valuation ring of dimension 2

RajnishI was looking the valuation ring of dimension $2$. Then I found, it has two number of non-zero prime ideals and localization at prime is a valuation domain again. Moreover, there is a one-to-one correspondence between prime ideals and valuation overrings. Dimension 2 means, we have two non-zero p...

There is already existing tag . (Empty tag-info.) I do not know anything about this area, but I guess they are different.
Quickly checking Wikipedia it seems that the word valuation is commonly used in different meanings - so maybe clarifying the intended usage of in the tag-info might be useful.
In algebra (in particular in algebraic geometry or algebraic number theory), a valuation is a function on a field that provides a measure of size or multiplicity of elements of the field. It generalizes to commutative algebra the notion of size inherent in consideration of the degree of a pole or multiplicity of a zero in complex analysis, the degree of divisibility of a number by a prime number in number theory, and the geometrical concept of contact between two algebraic or analytic varieties in algebraic geometry. A field with a valuation on it is called a valued field. == Definition =...
In logic and model theory, a valuation can be: In propositional logic, an assignment of truth values to propositional variables, with a corresponding assignment of truth values to all propositional formulas with those variables. In first-order logic and higher-order logics, a structure, (the interpretation) and the corresponding assignment of a truth value to each sentence in the language for that structure (the valuation proper). The interpretation must be a homomorphism, while valuation is simply a function. == Mathematical logic == In mathematical logic (especially model theory), a valuation...
In measure theory, or at least in the approach to it via the domain theory, a valuation is a map from the class of open sets of a topological space to the set of positive real numbers including infinity, with certain properties. It is a concept closely related to that of a measure, and as such, it finds applications in measure theory, probability theory, and theoretical computer science. == Domain/Measure theory definition == Let ( X , T ) ...
In abstract algebra, a valuation ring is an integral domain D such that for every element x of its field of fractions F, at least one of x or x −1 belongs to D. Given a field F, if D is a subring of F such that either x or x −1 belongs to D for every nonzero x in F, then D is said to be a valuation ring for the field F or a place of F. Since F in this case is indeed the field of fractions of D, a valuation ring for a field is a valuation ring. Another way to characterize the valuation rings of a field F is that valuation rings D of F have F as their field of fractions, and their ideals are totally...

@MartinSleziak a valuation ring is a ring (more precisely an integral domain usually) equipped with a valuation (in the algebra sense). The valuation-theory tag appears to have been created for questions on valuations in the algebra sense and is mostly used for that (at a glance I did not see an exception, but looked at only a fifth of the questions and this briefly). In that sense valuation-ring could be a special case of valuation-theory.
This is not really apparent from the start of the Wikipedia page, which gives a different definition of valuation ring, but it is equivalent; under "Definitions" there are four equivalent ones and the fourth is the one I recalled.

I did recall seeing the word valuation, but I did not encounter them much. I recall for example this answer: Can decimal numbers be considered “even” or “odd”?
Main purpose of mentioning it here would be that more experienced users notice the new tag and can decide what to do with it.
As I mentioned, there are recently created tags where it is much more questionable whether they are going to be useful. Probably the most prominent is tag. chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/10243?m=40753558#40753558
In any case, thanks for the response. It seems that it could be useful to know a bit more about this topic. (Of course, there is plenty of other stuff I'd be glad to know more about.)
 
@MartinSleziak should be retagged
 
You mean , right?
 
Yes sorry.
 
Thanks, I went ahead and retagged the post.
 
You are welcome.

I would feel more comfortable retagging stuff I actually know about. But regular local ring is explicitly mentioned in the post. And I have quite a lot of confidence in what you say about mathematical topics.
 
On could also add
 
After all, the retagging bumped the post and there are many experienced users around who can correct/improve tagging.
 
But maybe it is not needed. Somebody might create the tag regular-local-rings.
On the valuation-rings tag, it seems not out of place, given other minuscule tags for one type of ring or another. (I argued against this and would do away with about half of those tags, but that's orthogonal.)

@FrançoisG.Dorais I have noticed that some "arxiv" tags have changed their name after the increase of character limit. For example is now called .
As a result, on some places we have links to empty tags, such as in Frequently asked questions about tagging on MathOverflow or Why are MO tags formatted as they are?
I wonder, whether adding a synonym would be a reasonable thing to do.
I have address this to you, since I see that you most often deal with tag synonyms.
Of course, I can edit the lists in those two posts. But there might be some other places where still the "old form" is linked.
I guess there are only few tags where there is relevant. I'll try to go through the list and post them here.
Unless I missed something, that's the only tags with this problem.
Let me know whether you plan to add those synonyms. (If not, I'll eventually edit those post, so that the links in the list of tags work correctly. But probably not now - we do not know to bump several posts about the same topic - namely the arxiv tags - at the same time; at my question about such tags already is among recently active questions.)
