Scott,

I finally managed to get it working.

What it finally turned out to be is my misunderstanding of the
semantics of the various fields in the New / Jena/SDB Database
Connection dialog. Pulling up the Triples view helped a lot, as I was
able to see what was actually there.

For some reason, this led me to change the "Base URI" to something
("http://localhost.repo";) that didn't conflict with anything else in
my environment. I was using "http://localhost/jenaStore"; as both my
database URL and my Base URI, and at various times I had tried other
Base URIs that were apparently the same as something in the database.
(I hope that makes some sense to you.) Once I did this, everything
worked.

In any case, I can now load the core ontology, load the UnionGraph,
and do my SPARQL queries.

If I could make a suggestion, it would be to include all the fields
from the "New" dialog in the Ontology Overview tab, even if you don't
want some of them editable, and also to describe the semantics of Base
UI (including the "don'ts") in simpler terms than linking to the W3C
site.

Thanks for all your help (and infinite patience).

Dave
