Jack,

I think if you create a new empty graph, owl:import an ontology into it, then you should be able to import tab-delimited data into the new graph while using the classes and properties from the ontology.

I have not tested this, but think it will work. I have to admit, I have not used the tab-delimited importer in TBC in well over a year because importers we have in EVN/EDG typically suit me much better - they are less techy, can create relationships out of columns, etc.

There seem to be 2 ways in TBC to import Tab-Delimited data: (1) into a new graph, or (2) into an existing graph. The latter allows you to use the classes and properties defined in that graph, which is nice, but doesn't really support a 'separation of concerns' approach. Specifically, I want to keep vocabulary content (instances) separate from class/property definition graphs. So what I seek is a way to import data into a vocabulary (instance) graph that itself imports a schema (class and property) graph. I do not see this capability in TBC at present and would like to recommend it as a useful feature (since I just spent a large amount of time making this happen manually).
