Actually no. The class gets, in its constructor, a local directory where the
cached ontology are located, and uses it. Only if the cache is empty, it
tries to fill it.

The cache does not have the "find" method - we did not want to replicate the
whole registry's API. But because all ontologies are locally available, it
is easy to get them all (that's why the class is also called "digest",
because it provides the cumulative methods that the registry's API does not
provide in all cases) and iterate over them and make your search as you
wish.
