A separation is essential for having a consistent install procedure or else
apps might overwrite each other's ontologies. Another approach is to have
conventions for the file names that 3rd party ontos use.

If it is guaranteed that third party ontos only have one file, we can pile
everything in the same directory, if not we basically have to create a dir
per onto.
