Be more specific about your ontology.  How does your ontology interact
with an unmodified OSM database?

In general:
- a displayed map created from an unchanged OSM database would be a
Produced Work.
- a Produced Work requires a notice "Contains information from
OpenStreetMap, which is made available OSM.org under the Open Database
License (ODbL).
- a Produced Work may require additional license-related information,
depending on your other license obligations.  For example, including
CC-By Icons, or CC-By-SA video in your Produced Work gives you
obligations under those licenses.
