I don't understand everything on that page (I don't suppose there's a simpler explanation for non-RDF people anywhere? As in, _really_ simple, for Dummies) but I do like that they seem to agree with me on the difference between a tag and a category. That is, I think a category is a consensus thing (as in OpenGuides) or a dictated thing (as in, say, the Dewey Decimal system or something like that), whereas a tag is an individual thing - "The goal of this ontology is to model the relationship between an agent, an arbitrary resource, and one or more tags." (where an "agent" is an individual person)
So: OpenGuides category + username of person who first added it gives an approximation of tag + agent but it's an approximation only because the person will have been affected by the consensus view of which categories are appropriate on that particular guide.
