    As a computer science project, we are exploring methods to build sets of modular ontologies (using OWL) starting from existing open standards, and we also specify the appropriate methods to compose these sets of ontologies with specific deltas (not built by us) that add and remove from the general purpose ontology for a general well-run client (in our case, a general well-run city), the specifics that could apply to one specific instance of a client (in our case, city) and its current processes and IT infrastructure.
