When I did this sort of thing, I allowed "keywords" and "topics". 
"Topics" were chosen from a list the administrators created, while 
"keywords" could be anything. Since you could get a list of both, it was 
expected that you'd pick keywords others had used if they fit. 
(Otherwise, people would have trouble guessing your keywords, and your 
stuff wouldn't get found.)

It worked out OK.

Since I was doing this sort of thing 12 years ago via pure CGI without a 
database, I can't imagine it's particularly difficult to do now if you 
have *any* sort of scripting capabilities available on the server.
