  abstract = { The Distributed Ontology Language (DOL) is a recent development
  within the ISO standardisation initiative 17347 Ontology Integration and
  Interoperability (OntoIOp). In DOL, heterogeneous and distributed
  ontologies can be expressed, i.e. ontologies that are made up of parts written in ontology languages based on various logics. In order to make the DOL meta-language and its semantics more easily accessible to 
the wider ontology community, we have developed a notion of
  institute which are like institutions but with signature
  partial orders and based on standard set-theoretic semantics rather than category theory. We give an institute-based semantics for the kernel of DOL
  and show that this is compatible with institutional semantics. Moreover, as it turns out, beyond their greater simplicity, institutes have some further  surprising advantages over institutions.
