I'm working on a tagging system at work, but one thing that I would be interested in is determining what has already been learned about the way people use such systems so that, when using libraries and tools and creating code, I can accommodate the way people do things (or so I hope).
After asking this question, I continued to go through Google Scholar, and I didn't see much of interest. A few interesting papers involve displaying keywords (which helps a little) and automatically finding keywords in a document (not so much in my case).
This is now a community-wiki post. After doing some more research, it appears to be a vast field, with no one answer that will help me any more than others. As such, I would appreciate it if anyone finds a paper or website that stands out among others to post it here. Thanks!
