One is _expected_ to use a network-retrieving URI as an identifier for an
OWL ontology. The OWL ontology construct:

<owl:Ontology rdf:about="">
  <owl:versionInfo>v 1.17 2003/02/26 12:56:51 mdean</owl:versionInfo>
  <rdfs:comment>An example ontology</rdfs:comment>
  <owl:imports rdf:resource="http://www.example.org/foo"/>
</owl:Ontology>

is used to make assertions about the 'current URI'. Moreover, the fact that
OWL ontologies are network retrievable (have URIs) is used to import one
ontology into another <owl:imports>
