Note how the main creature is defined first. All Dracon will have those traits, and then when you get down to the caste section you should see how the individual castes are created MODIFYING the origonal creature. Any tags that exist in a caste entry but not in the main creature entry will be unique to that caste alone.
You can also take advantage of the fact that DF overwrites values with the last one it reads. If you notice the race as a whole is bad at non combat skills, but when you vier the Blue Dracon caste you see that most of those skill learning tags are entered again. Because of that the Blue dracon should have higher non combat skill learn rates, without changing the skill learn rate of the race as a whole. You may also notice that each caste overwrites the race's description entry with their own. So each caste has it's own description.
Also it should be noted that if you want both males and females of a certain caste to be possible you have to make 2 castes for it. One for the male version and one for the female.
Another thing to note is that not all creature tags work in the caste level.
EDIT: I actually didn't see Black Flyme already provided an example. Oh well, more examples are always good. Black flyme's example is for creatures that would be completely unrecognizable as members of the same race. There are far fewer tags before you get into the race's caste entries because there is far fewer things that all the castes share.
