Alessandro Adamou updated STANBOL-304:
--------------------------------------

    Description: 
The root ontology of each ontology space (e.g. {scopeid}/core/root.owl and 
{scopeid}/custom/root.owl) is managed as an actual OWLOntology object just like 
actual ontologies loaded in the scope.

However this does not bring any benefit and creates clutter when managing 
import statements and serialization of ontology scopes and spaces for RESTful 
services.

Root ontologies can be generated on-the-fly for GET services on scopes and 
spaces, so that import statements can be swiftly moved across spaces without 
worrying about reloading the whole imports closure. Also, since they do not map 
to actual files, we can remove .owl extensions (which should be reserved for 
included ontologies).

As a consequence, OntologySpace#setTopOntology() methods would no longer make 
sense and should be deprecated in the API, then removed altogether.
