Hi,

The core ontology probably does qualify, perhaps. 
URN:biojava:ontology/core for the ontology and perhaps 
URN:biojava:ontology/core|ISA and the like for the terms? 
URN:biojava:ontolgy/core|relation,has_a,domain for triples? Or we could 
just give all terms & triples a unique numerical ID somewhere and do 
<ontoURN>#<id> - far to many options.
