Are NFC and RFID tags the same?

NFC stands for Near-Field Communication. NFC is also based on the RFID protocols. The main difference to RFID is that a NFC device can act not only as a reader, but also as a tag (card emulation mode). NFC systems operate on the same frequency as HF RFID (13.56 MHz) systems.

What information is stored on RFID tags?

What kind of information can be stored on a tag? Anything that can be represented by a number.
