Making tagging a judgment call will only serve to alienate the casual tagger. I had an idea a year or so ago, for creating a faceting tool that would allow librarians to organize and collect similar tags. The facets would then be shared and would help to connect things that weren't necessarily originally linked. The original model was meant to exist within a catalog, so that your items were limited to resources, but still pretty wide open content-wise. I agree.
