An exception to describe a problem in accessing an ontology. Since there could
be any kind of implementation of OWLOntology
(and other model interfaces),
some of which may use secondary storage, such as a database backend, there could
be problems with accessing ontology objects such as axioms. In such situations the
implementation should wrap the implementation specific exceptions in this exception and
rethrow an instance of this exception. Note that exceptions of this type are
unchecked (runtime) exceptions - this is because they represent potentially nasty situations
where client code calling methods such as getAxioms() probably doesn't know (or care) how to handle
situations where network/database connections fail.
