I was a bit unclear about this concept.  Let's assume that TBC
didn't have a copy of FOAF included with the download.  So, is it
possible to run SPARQL queries against FOAF Classes and Properties
using just the namespace for FOAF on the web?  Or does TBC need to
import the FOAF ontology into the open file?
That leads to my second question, if I had an ontology file and a data
file, as discussed in the Learning Sparql book, if I was going to
query against the data using TBC, do I need to import the ontology
into the data file?  Or will TBC support SPARQL queries against files
that are in the same project?

Lastly, but relatedly, if I import an RDF file into another file, that
is rdffiel1.rdf into rdffile2.rdf and then save the second file, the
next time I open this rdffile2.rdf should this file have saved the
imported graph within the same file?  That doesn't seem to be the case
for me.  I have several namespaces that are defined in my foaf.rdf
file.  At one point I must have let TBC import the external namespaces
because I have import statements, in the file.  But each time I open
that file, it takes a long time because it has to go get the files off
the web.
Thanks,
Bruce
