Collection-tagging projects (in which visitors assign keywords to items in a collection) have always left me cold.

This question is a byproduct of the reality that most participatory projects have poorly articulated value. What's the "use" of visitors' comments? But the best participatory projects don't suffer from this problem, because they solicit visitors' contributions toward a very specific outcome. The project is designed to scale.
