Well, for starters there is some good news.
You don't really need to worry about the actual data storage of the  
ontology.  Protege will take care of that all by itself, just by using  
the standard load and save methods.

So all you need to do for your plugin is to take the information from  
your interface form and add that information to the ontology using the  
Protege-OWL API.

This is described with examples for plugins in general and OWL  
specifically at
   http://protege.stanford.edu/doc/dev.html
   http://protege.stanford.edu/plugins/owl/api/guide.html
and with Javadocs at
   http://protege.stanford.edu/protege/3.4/docs/api/owl/
