We wrote about this some years ago…

There are some papers talk about DSLs and Ontology:

Ontologies in domain specific languages : a systematic literature review (2014)  
Ontological approach for DSL development (2016)  
Ontology and DSL co-evolution using graph transformations methods (2017)  
Using ontology in the development of domain-specific languages(2010)
