Scott - thanks for your reply:

An existing Oracle RDF data store?  Or did you create a new one?  How?
Or are you referring to a relational store?
        It's a relational store. I need to make it a rdf store to look at 
the instance in TBC. I tried to link them using new - Oracle database

The base URI?  Go to the ontology home, unlink the base URI and
default namespace, enter the new base URI or default namespace, and
hit "return".  Note that the text is not entered until the text box
transition form a thick black line to a think black line. 
        Yes, that worked.  Should I link the bse uri and the default 
namespace again? When I did this before, the base uri box turned red and I 
had a message that read that the namespace already exists in the namespace 
prefix. Should I leave the default namespace with the old name now?  I 
have the namespace and a prefix in the Namespace prefixes that is correct. 


I'll work on the refactoring next, but any insight into the first two 
points, copied above, is appreciated.
many thanks!!

Dalia;  There are a lot of moving parts here, so I'm not sure I can do
much more than as some follow-up questions.

There are a number of ways to refactor URIs:

<the uri to the same url as my database>

Is the general issue that you have resources in modelX that you want
to have the same URIs in the Oracle data store?  If so, the
refactoring ontologies should help.  The bottom line is that you will
need to modify the resources in your modelX to agree with the Oracle
resources.

<do you think this is the reason I was not able to get Oracle
instances when I created a new Oracle database?>

You'd have to explain what is happening here in more detail.
