I find ontologies useful in the preamble of requirements documents to define the terms and concepts that will be later used in the body of the document.

Generally they are simple and accepted concepts for the domain specialists, but not well understood by programmers who have to read the requirements and business analysis documents.

How do you specify the ontologies in context of requirements documents? Do you use any formal methods like OWL?
