Load OWL schema into triple-store like Fuskei/TDB?

Question

I have a beautiful OWL schema that I wrote that I would like to actually load into a triple-store and then add data to so that I can query it. But I'm a bit clueless about how to do that.

You see, I have Fuseki/TDB, solely because Jena comes with them and I like the Jena APIs. But I have no idea how to actually put this schema into a triple-store. Does one even load a schema like one does with traditional databases? I don't know.

I have Fuseki/TDB running, and followed the “getting started” tutorial, but that tutorial deals with loading data into the default graph, and I don't know how to move any further. Help? Clues? Should I go with a different triple-store setup with actual detailed how-to documentation?

Answer 1

Schemas are data. You can load them as you would for data.

If you want inference based on the schema, you don't need to load it - you need to write a Fuseki configuration that uses your schema with a inference engine like Jena rules.
