Tagging is a good idea and I think it would help.
Topic maps are a little more than just tags though. A topic map would allow you to identify a topic but also allow you to create relations between topcs. Topic maps use uris like RDF so we would be talking about "things not strings". I think topic maps are (and have been for a long time) a good idea I just need to make it work ;-)
