I think you can do this:OntModelontModel_sub1 =
ModelFactory.createOntologyModel(...);
ontModel_sub1 = (OntModel)ontModel_sub1.read("file:"+ "your sub ontology 1
file");//if the sub ontology is in a file
OntModelontModel_sub2 = ModelFactory.createOntologyModel(...);
ontModel_sub2 = (OntModel)ontModel_sub2.read("file:"+ "your sub ontology 2
file");//if the sub ontology is in a file
OntModelontModel_merged =
ModelFactory.createOntologyModel(...);ontModel_merged.add(ontModel_sub1);
ontModel_merged.add(ontModel_sub2);
and I believe you are right to go.

Subject: top level ontology creation
HI,
I am using jena for my semantic application
development. I have a common question. Currently I designed two
separate ontology for two separate application. My doubt is it possible
to create a new ontology such that the two previously created ontology
should be the sub ontology of newly created one. OR should I need to
create a new ontology from scratch.
With Regards
