[Koha] User tagging

[Viktor.Sarge at regionhalland.se]

Hi! 

I work with two libraries (one public library quite new to Koha and one small school library) that use tags. They are somewhat useful, but it’s clear that to tap into the potential of creating a folksonomy you need to take Metcalfe’s law into account and populate the tags with data from far larger services than the local library. The problem is particularly difficult in such a small language area as Sweden. It’s hard enough to get even a national service to get user tagging really going. With that said I’ve been hoping to integrate our Koha installations with the national service for user created metadata when they get their new APIs up and running in the future. 

Regards
/Viktor
