Surely you just want to *use* it in some owl-s description.

There are other ideas floating about, including our work on E-connections: http://www.mindswap.org/2004/multipleOnt/ > I guess I can > somehow embed this Ontology to Process.owl. Any idea? As Drew said...why embed? If you just want to *use*, then you should import (or econnect). If you want to align some part of OWL-S with the upper ontology (a la what some folks did with Dolce, see: http://www.daml.ecs.soton.ac.uk/SSS-SWS04/23.pdf) then one of these combination techniques is still perfectly fine.
