1. A provisioning system for supporting presence applications, comprising:
- an ontology depository having at least one domain-specific ontology model accessible via the Internet for a particular presence application, wherein the ontology model for the particular presence application includes a collection of;
abstracted entities that are appropriately classified;
relationships among the entities; and
information about how to collect presence data from persons, places and things; and
a presence entity having a structure operable to reference a domain-specific ontology model of said ontology depository via the Internet for customizing a presence client software module associated with said presence entity, whereby said presence entity becomes operable to engage in a particular presence application relating to said domain-specific ontology model.

Abstract
A system and method for provisioning presence application services using a customizable presence data model. An ontology depository having at least one domain-specific ontology model for a particular presence application is provided on a communications network. Presence client software associated with a general-purpose presence entity is customized by referencing a domain-specific ontology model of the ontology depository, whereby the presence entity becomes operable to engage in a particular presence application relating to the domain-specific ontology model.
