Taskonomy, not Taxonomy:
There's a lot of debate in Knowledge Management circles about when taxonomy (a top-down imposed organizing scheme for subject matter in a library or database) is better and worse than folksonomy (a bottom-up evolving organizing scheme, where people choose their own tags to index the content). Here's an interesting article by Don Norman that suggests a different approach again: Instead of organizing content by subject matter at all, organize it by its expected (re-)purpose/re-use. Duh! Thanks to Innovation Weekly for the link.
