Description

OntoNet currently works effectively with named ontologies. On the other hand, the way anonymous ontologies are managed is not uniform and sub-optimal.

For example, when adding an anonymous ontology to a space, its axioms are copied into the space top ontology, because import statements cannot be generated. This way, removing an anonymous ontology from a scope or space becomes extremely awkward.

Design and implement a policy that works for named and anonymous ontologies alike.

One solution could be to treat physical locations as logical identifers for anonymous ontologies, since they are also unique references.
