Sorry it's a bit late, but I posted a couple of thoughts as well on my blog: http://richarddingwall.name/2013/02/16/ubiquitious-language-handling-change

In your case, it sounds like 'Collaborator' is the new adopted term, and and as a matter of technical debt, you should update your code to reflect this.

For the webservice, I would definitely leave the old name - you can't break wire compatibility. I don't think it's a big problem to use the wrong term here - only developers will see it, typically APIs are well documented (so you can clearly explain gotchas), and you can always fix it in a future API version.
