That's good news. I am glad that it finally worked out.

It used to work with Protégé 4.0 when I tried it several months ago. Does Top Braid Composer support 
OWL 2.0?

No, AceWiki cannot import text or OWL files so far. However, your wiki data is stored in a folder 
that has the name of the ontology inside of the folder "data". This folder gets automatically 
created, probably in the home directory of Tomcat. If your ontology is called "test" (this is the 
default) then the wiki data is stored in several files (having numbers as file names and each of 
them stands for one article) in "data/test". You can simply copy this folder and replace it later by 
an earlier version if needed.

Do these entities ("country", "Canada", "contains", etc) appear in AceWiki itself? By default just 
an empty ontology is created when AceWiki starts the first time.
