Answer 1

1. Load your ontology into an OntModel. I assume you did that already.

2. Use the getProperty(String uri) method of the OntModel to retrieve the property.

3. Use the getOntClass(String uri) method of the OntModel to retrieve the class. It returns an OntClass.

4. Use the getPropertyValue(Property property) method of the OntClass to get the value. It returns an RDFNode.

5. To turn the RDFNode into a string, either use simply toString(), or do myRDFNode.asLiteral().getString().
