After a little research, I found Collection.Parse method that seems to be right place for transforming the response after a fetch() operation. Looks like I will need a new set model, collection and view objects. This is how I implemented the parse function in my collection object. Tested successfully in Chrome. Feel free to suggest improvements

    
    parse: function(response) {

        var items = response; //the raw item model returned from localStorage  
        var tagNameItemCount = [];
        var selectedTags = ["Tag1", "Tag2", "Tag3"];
        for(i = 0; i < selectedTags.length; i++){
            var currentTagName = selectedTags[i];
            var currentItemCount = this.getItemsCountByTagName(currentTagName, items);
            tagNameItemCount.push({tagName: currentTagName, tagCount: currentItemCount});
        }

        return tagNameItemCount;



       },
getItemsCountByTagName: function (tagName, items) {
                        var taggedItems = _.filter(items, function(item){ return _.include(item.tags, tagName); });
                        return taggedItems.length;
                       },
