The direction I have gone has been the "collaborative scheme,"
specifically using del.icio.us...

Thus, I generally have a widget that will "push" each bookmark out to
this 'web service.'  I can access that list of bookmarks, including
via the makers' tagging scheme, essentially from anywhere.  Anywhere
that I'm commonly browsing from, I set up a little bit of config to
add in the aforementioned "widget."

The "collaborative" side provides at least a little value; if others
have recorded the same URL, a list of commonly used tags is provided
to me, so that I may be able to handle classification more simply.

That isn't a particularly 'open source' answer; it's a service
available gratis from Yahoo!  If OSS truly is important, then you
might look into "markaboo" (<http://markaboo.com/>) which is evidently
similar in functionality, but the software (apparently written using
Ruby on Rails) is available.
