I've read several accounts of collaborative systems that start out with taxonomies and structure but that people working in that environment become overwhelmed by the expanding amount of information and artifacts. There seems to be a tipping point at which experienced users move away from structure and come to rely on the system search engine. This approach relies on the user remembering enough of the context to feed the search engine - but not much else. If one knows some keywords, a fragment of the organizational structure, etc., one can locate the needed information, expertise, etc. Thanks for the cite.
