It sounds like you're describing one of the open source clones of
Delicious, with a distributed database on the back end rather than a
relational database.  Something like Scuttle
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/scuttle/), Selficious
(https://github.com/initpy/selficious) (but that uses AppEngine), or
Scrumptious (https://github.com/jpmens/scrumptious) (which uses
CouchDB,which can be used to build distributed databases but some
extra code would have to be written to really make that happen).
Users set up instances, then add and tag URLs.  I don't know of any
off the top of my head that would allow for rating URLs, though.
