Free Tagging Software
Freetag - an Open Source Tagging / Folksonomy module for PHP/MySQL applications.
Freetag is a module that implements a simple, fairly robust beginning of a tagging and folksonomy system. It works with PHP4 and MySQL 3.23 so far, and I imagine that if it gets popular, it should be easy to port to additional databases and/or languages.You point it at your users, then you point it at your objects, and use the API to allow your users to tag your objects.Sounds like this should work with Koah. It would be an interesting experiment.Seen on the BlogDriversWaltz.
