Overview:

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, one needs to have a more realistic conceptual model of how ontologies develop in the real world. The paper introduces the ontology maturing processes which is based on the insight that ontology engineering is a collaborative informal learning process and for which one analyzes 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.
