Why this is canonical

'Process' grounds ontology in operational reality: the management, update, and enforcement cycles that keep a shared vocabulary current and authoritative. This coordinate names the procedural layer that turns an ontology from a document into a running system component.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Ontology maintenance and governance workflow
The process layer governing how ontologies are proposed, reviewed, approved, and propagated across an organization.
Enterprise data-governance teams, MDM platform vendors
AI pipeline grounding
The process component that ensures AI inference pipelines consult and remain consistent with a curated ontology.
MLOps, AI-pipeline, and LLMOps platform builders
