If I understood well the problem...
CDAO presents an OTU annotation concept, and users can instantiate it with any desirable information about the specimen, such as lat/long. 
One can also develop and inherit other ontologies into CDAO to provide more sophisticated concepts for specific applications and annotations.

Current CDAO version has already incorporated Julie's Multiple Alignment Ontology (MAO; Thompson et al., 2005).
MAO presents concepts such as "domain" and "subalignment", I suppose they can be used in this context.

Ciao,
