A project ontology, sometimes and controversially referred to as an application ontology, is an ontology which is composed of other ontologies for a particular use case, such as Natural Language Processing applications, Semantic Search and Knowledge Graph integration. A defining feature of a project ontology is that it is not intended to be used as a domain ontology. Concretely, this means that content from project ontologies (such as terms or axioms) is not to be re-used by domain ontologies (under no circumstances). Project ontology developers have the freedom to slice & dice, delete and add relationships, change labels etc as their use case demands it. Usually, such processing is minimal, and in a well developed environment such as OBO, new project ontology-specific terms are usually kept at a minimum.
