If you're looking for general history on the digital commons movement, check out Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation, and Eric S. Raymond's *The Cathedral and the Bazaar*. A lot of the initial Wikipedians were very much in favor of open source and open content, and were quite familiar with those. I don't, to be quite honest, know about "E. Ostrom", and have never heard them discussed on-wiki, but of course other editors might be.
But if you really want to see the influence of the "commons" idea on Wikipedia, the open source software movement is going to be very relevant to what you want to look at. Mediawiki, the software that Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites run on, is open source, and the technology stack underlying it is as well.
