Well, first of all, no tag can be made without contact. There are a number of aspects that should (IMO) be considered.
Did the runner have opportunity to avoid the contact?
Did the fielder move into the runner's path?
Did the runner alter her path in order to contact the fielder?
Was the contact violent?
Did the runner show intent (lowering shoulder, swatting at the glove, etc.)?
Was the contact the result of a muffed catch?
