Thanks for your comment, and the reference to your project.
We're definitly interested in the themes that emerge when people tag, and will be exploring this in the context of analying the tag data gathered at http://www.steve.museum. we've outlined some simple interface variables to test first (including the presence or absence of object cataloguing and whether images are presented in groups) to see if those simple contextual elements influence the tags people suggest on-line. the question of whether tags differ on-line and in-person is also intriguing.
Do you know PAM -- an art video project that includes tags?
