I've been working with Protege, where the 'individuals' are loaded

I wonder whether one loads the ontologies into a separate model

I typically create my data (mostly individuals and property
assertions) in an OWL ontology that owl:imports the ontology that
defines the vocabulary (mostly classes and properties) is defined.
I think that's fairly common practice, especially when referencing
ontologies that you didn't create.
If the individuals are in one named graph of a TDB dataset, the ontology
can go in another, so they are in different graphs. You can query the
combination with the union of named graphs as the default graph of the
SPARQL query.
Or you can use a union graph of two graphs in-memory (or indeed any
storage mixture).
