[seek-kr-sms] Ontology (Rich) links found broken

[Rich Williams]

You got it.  The method for doing this in Jena involves defining alternate
ontology locations in file called ont-policy.rdf.  Protege uses this
mechanism, since it uses the Jena libraries.  And if you're writing code
that uses Jena, I'd recommend having it use the same mechanism.
