Loading (simplest method):

• http://jena.sourceforge.net/how-to/filemanager.html
• http://jena.sourceforge.net/javadoc/com/hp/hpl/jena/util/FileManager.html

Query using SPARQL:

• http://jena.sourceforge.net/ARQ/Tutorial/

Ontology API:

• http://jena.sourceforge.net/ontology/index.html

A quick way to get started in Netbeans is using a maven project. Add jena and arq to the library and they will be downloaded by maven.
