Answer 1

Assume that you have opened A.owl in Protege. Go to the "Active Ontology" tab. Click on the plus sign beside the Direct Imports text. Click on the button for "Direct Imports" and import "B.owl". Then go to "Refactor" > "Merge Ontologies". This was done in Protege 5.2.

First load both A and B.

Then go to "Refactor > Merge Ontologies" from the menu.
