Many thanks - I think this is exactly what I have been looking for - not exactly an answer but something to include in the roadmaps I am working on! In fact, my use case is very much one based on reconciling ebRIM and ISO 19000 standards for modelling geographical features, so this path is promising. I was thinking of OWL as a view into relationships managed within ebRIM data models as a starting point, and loading an ontology into ebRIM so I could then manage the terms! Thanks to all those who responded with details of their current solutions - I guess this discussion would have been of broad interest. I'll spend a bit more time reading and thinking through then respond directly.
