That was probably confusing. What I meant was:

(a) Write the data out in Turtle (etc), so that you can look at it
and get the idea of what it's about.

(b) When you want to query the data, you can query it using SPARQL.
The query syntax of SPARQL is similar to the notation of Turtle
(not by accident), so that it's easier to see how a query matches
up with the data.

Also, if what you're looking at is an ontology rather than instance
data, you should read Jena's ontology documentation, since some of
the queries you'd want to make on an ontology are part of the ontology
API.
