How to depend on this maven project

Question

My projects consists of three sub-projects, and my parent pom looks like:

<groupId>com.bwort.core</groupId>
<artifactId>bwort</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

<name>bwort</name>

<modules>
  <module>proj1</module>
  <module>proj2</module>
  <module>proj3</module>             
</modules>

---

Now my project needs to dependent this project below, which comprises three subprojects, with a parent pom. In particular, it already has a parent as below: https://github.com/cmusphinx/sphinx4/blob/master/pom.xml

  <parent>
    <groupId>org.sonatype.oss</groupId>
    <artifactId>oss-parent</artifactId>
    <version>7</version>
  </parent>

  <groupId>edu.cmu.sphinx</groupId>
  <artifactId>sphinx4-parent</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>pom</packaging>

My question is, how can I declare the dependency in my parent pom file? I can add another module to my parent pom:

<module>sphinx4</module>

But since this library already defined its own parent "oss-parent", then how can I make my parent pom as its parent?

What's the right way for my project to depend on this project? Thank you.

If your pom.xml has something like the following, it should work:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>my-app</name>
