the actual problem I had was that it is
either

  :foo owl:imports <http://example.org/ontology>.
  <http://example.org/ontology> rdf:type doc:Work.

or

  :foo owl:imports _:ontology.
  _:ontology rdf:type owl:Ontology.

and I prefer the latter
with the dereferencing *explicit* via
  <http://example.org/ontology> log:semantics _:ontology.
