Motivation
Although content tagging can be considered a subset of user contributed content annotations, it is an important enough feature that it should be treated as a PLIP of its own, perhaps to be implemented according to the Stickies framework introduced in PLIP #138, or perhaps through some other mechanism.
Proposal
It is important not to confuse per-user tagging with DC:Subject - the
dc metadata is shared across all users (like categories in the
wikipedia) and in that sense, is global.
Vocabularies can be fixed or free, individual or collaborative, and personal or shared. All of these variations are interesting in different cntexts, and have to do with whether or not I see your tags, or if we each are developing our own ontologies.
