Modules can be added to a ontology by the <USE-ONTOLOGY> operation and adjusted with <DEF-RENAME>.
Modules are added conjunctively or disjunctively, that is hierarchically, to the ontology tree or lattice with a general ontology at its root.
The dynamics of the Dynamic Ontologies (Heflin, Hendler) are restricted to their hierarchical and mono-contextural order.
