Peter Suber at Open Access news has proposed using tags to collocate news about open access on Connotea. A group tagging effort to collocate information seems like an interesting method to me. It could easily become polluted by spammers, but maybe Connotea...

Tagging and Controlled Vocabalaries
EntityDescriber is an add-on tool for Connotea that allows taggers to select terms from a controlled vocabalary.
E.D. is a mechanism for intersecting the Semantic Web with the normal Web. It lets Connotea users (though we may extend it to other systems such as Del.icio.us) annotate (tag) resources on the Web with terms from existing controlled vocabularies such as MeSH, the Gene Ontology, the Atom ontology, and the Person ontology. For more thoughts on and progress with ED, see blog posts about ED.
You might enjoy using ED if any of the following apply to you:You would like to organize your tags more effectivelyYou are using Connotea to create a reference system - for example for a classYou are a member of a group of people that would like to use a common set of tags - possibly with the aim of creating a nice reference libraryYou like the idea that every time you tag something you are contributing to the semantic webYou would like to utilize queries over your collection and others that take advantage of the structure of ontologies. For example, queries for "brain", that return resources tagged with "hippocampus", "cortex", "cerebellum", etc...You would like to help an aging graduate student add one more chapter to his thesis...
