Pat's example was 3 different graphs. An app can decide to use the :g3
ontology is useful and that it thinks :g1 and :g2 have used it
correctly. It can then use it with :g1 or on :g2 if it wants. Using on
:g1 union :g2 is not good. This is a decision the app makes before the
formal systems kick in.
