hi all Jay and I (he's currently in Melbourne, god bless 'im) were talking about similar stuff yesterday. Seth Keen has a system that partly does this. it is intended for more curatorial sorts of things, but relies on tags to collect clips. I've built similar, now defunct, things ages ago, and people like, I think it was Aasmund Garfors in Bergen, and also Jon Hoem (also Bergen) were playing with.
It is not that hard, it is the move from video as 'filmmaking' (lot of edits, relative high ratio of takes to kept footage, etc) or video as 'careful' (due to legacy of cost, access, technology barriers, etc) to video as homemovie or as snapshot. We shoot heaps, just like with a camera we photograph heaps. flickr provided a way for us to easily archive, publish, share, tag, and collectively harness/use our snapshots. but at the moment in video the smallest 'unit' remains the entire show or program or clip, rather than the parts. (On the other hand while we're all hung up on being storytellers it also means we're hung up on keeping our parts tightly joined otherwise our story might be broken. There is a tension there between the sorts of things that might come from 'clouds' of clips versus the usual corridor of shot A will always be followed by B.)
