Members of SIRM have published a study on a new kind of ontologies that integrate soft data and build something like an Ontology 2.0, called 'ontology manifold'. Internet users can contribute to specific parts of the ontology by voting up properties, which generates a weighted image of the property spectrum of concepts. All is explained in a recent paper pre-published on ResearchGate, see here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236346774_Harnessing_the_Wisdom_of_Crowds_Ontology_Manifolds_and_Social_Ontologies?ev=prf_pub"
