Web 2.0 can help us catalouge our collection

I found several references today about museums letting the public tag ther photos.

The Power House Museum noted:

"We have started presenting the tags that Flickr users have left on our images in the Commons on Flickr in their associated collection records in our online collection database. What this means is that the large number of tags added to our photographic collection in Flickr now are available in our OPAC to help others navigate the rest of our OPAC and connect with similar objects not available in the Commons and not in Flickr
