Kate, I've been searching for similar examples and though I don't have any first-hand knowledge, I did recently discover the Steve Project at http://steve.museum which uses social tagging to enhance museum images and content. The "steve in action" pages might be a lead to find specific examples.

I am doing a Research Masters and am looking at the use of Public Authoring & user-generated content in museum exhibits. I am particularly interested in examples where user-generated content is integrated into the exhibit and exhibits which allow the audience to add to, comment on and re-interpret the exhibit content so the exhibits evolve over time. Can anyone point to any successful/interesting examples? Cheers Kate ------------------------------
