But in that case, how to make sure the related tags are rigthly related?

By this I refers to:

I have a tag "tag_a" that has a meaning "meaning_a" and "meaning_b"

Then another person has a "tag_a" too with meaning "meaning_c" and 
"meaning_d".


Now what if such a system link "tag_a" with "tag_b" and that "tab_b" is 
in conflict with the meaning given by me (so "meaning_b").

I fear that such a syste would link the links only according to the 
literal of the tag. When MOAT is interesting since it relates a literal 
to some of the meaning of that literal, in a context:

- the context where the tag is used
- the user that used that lateral to categorizes that thing. (so the 
cultural baggage and experience of the tagger will affect the meaning he 
gives to the tag)

Ok.
