Return	`boolean`		`false` if changing this hierarchy is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	addRootOntology
Description	Adds a root ontology.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`ontologyId`	the `Id` of an ontology
Errors	ALREADY_EXISTS		`ontologyId` is already in hierarchy
	NOT_FOUND		`ontologyId` not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`ontologyId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	removeRootOntology
Description	Removes a root ontology.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`ontologyId`	the `Id` of an ontology
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`ontologyId` is not a root
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`ontologyId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	addChildOntology
Description	Adds a child to an ontology.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`ontologyId`	the `Id` of an ontology
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`childId`	the `Id` of the new child
