Description

There is a questionable design feature in which ModelMakers retain references to models they have opened, making it difficult to re-read a file into the same model. This particularly causes user confusion with respect to OntModel imports. As a workaround in the short term, OntModel could provide a robust clearCache operation which also clears the ModelMaker cache. Medium term, we should review whether ModelMaker's memory is desirable or not.
