To answer my own question, this just came up in a WWW07 workshop

"Most of the current methodologies for building ontologies rely on
specialized knowledge engineers. This is in contrast to real-world settings,
where the need for maintenance of domain specific ontologies emerges in the
daily work of users. But in order to allow for participatory ontology
engineering, we need to have a more realistic conceptual model of how
ontologies develop in the real world. We introduce the ontology maturing
processes which is based on the insight that ontology engineering is a
collaborative informal learning process and for which we analyze
characteristic evolution steps and triggers that have users engage in
ontology engineering within their everyday work processes. This model
integrates tagging and folksonomies with formal ontologies and shows
maturing pathways between them. As implementations of this model, we present
two case studies and the corresponding tools. "
