6 years ago This reminds me of Stackoverflow's tags. As you type, you get a list of tags used, and although you can make up your own tags, it is made quite clear that your questions will be made findable if it uses some of the tags already defined. It helps the community settle on specific tags as well:
Obviously, replicating this completely would be on the more complicated side of things, but it is certainly one of the best user experience out there.

As a user, I want to tag my resources with keywords that begin to auto-fill as I type, so I can employ some of the same tags as other repository users and thus increase findability.
This would require incorporating a growing list of user-supplied keyword terms, which could be added to on the fly if a user wants to supply a keyword that doesn't exist yet in the repository.
A keyword list would be maintained separately from the controlled vocabularies, and is still needed for terms that fall outside the controlled vocabs.
