There are no rules anywhere that say you can or should only use one ontology -- and in fact this is why there's the whole xmlns rigmarole. If you do have one ontology that does everything you need, great -- that can lower confusion for people and minimize server requests when dereferencing those terms. But if you don't? Cherry-pick the terms that make the most sense from however many ontologies you need. RDF was made for sparse data -- and it can handle everything you've laid out here. Be seeing you, Ted Sent from my iPhone, which doesn't have my .sig files
