<Sesame: I believe this repository needs a physical owl/rdf file to upload to it, is there a DB part to it?> Yes, there is. In TBC this is supported as a remote repository connection. Your best resource for the information on Sesame is http://www.openrdf.org/ <what would be our safest and most practical means of storing and owl-dl ontology using a persistent db > They are all feasible choices. I can't help you make this decision without learning a lot more about your project, likely more than you are able to share. And more than I am able to allocate time to learning.

We are looking for a practical and efficient means of storing these ontologies and still be able to do everything that we can do as if they where .owl files. I saw the list that you sent me to do this and basixcally I have experimented with some of them at some point in time: Jena: I exported an ontology to a JenaDB before using TBC export feature, it was ok, but now we would like to do implement the same functionality. Sesame: I believe this repository needs a physical owl/rdf file to upload to it, is there a DB part to it? Oracle 11G RDF: Oracle price tag Franz AllegroGraph: Never tried OpenLink Virtuoso: Never tried that being said what would be our safest and most practical means of storing and owl-dl ontology using a persistent db and still be able to do what we can do using for example TBC and an OWL file. given we implement that functionality....
