OWL API - setting prefixes and ontology annotations (properties) of the new ontology

I work with an ontology, that has the following "header":

@prefix : <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/doid.owl#> .
@prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> .
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix oboInOwl: <http://www.geneontology.org/formats/oboInOwl#> .
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
@prefix doid: <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/doid#> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
@prefix obo: <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/> .
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .
@prefix fn: <http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions#> .
@prefix sesame: <http://www.openrdf.org/schema/sesame#> .

obo:doid.owl a owl:Ontology ;
    oboInOwl:hasOBOFormatVersion "1.2"^^xsd:string ;
    oboInOwl:date "25:03:2016 16:27"^^xsd:string ;
    oboInOwl:auto-generated-by "OBO-Edit 2.3.1"^^xsd:string ;
    rdfs:comment "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/."^^xsd:string ;
    oboInOwl:default-namespace "disease_ontology"^^xsd:string ;
    oboInOwl:saved-by "someone"^^xsd:string ;
    owl:versionIRI <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/doid/releases/2016-03-25/doid.owl> .

I'm merging it with another ontology. The merged file has the following header:

@prefix : <file:/Users/Downloads/merged.ttl#> .
@prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> .
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix xml: <http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace> .
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
@base <file:/Users/Downloads/merged.ttl> .

<file:/Users/Downloads/merged.ttl> rdf:type owl:Ontology .

That's it. I would like to add back some of the properties, like oboInOwl:hasOBOFormatVersion, rdfs:comment, oboInOwl:default-namespace, oboInOwl:saved-by etc. How can I do this? Thank you.

Here is the merge code:

OWLOntology ontology2 = CalcDiff.getOntology2();

File output2 = new File("/ontology_management/DOID_MERGED/doid_do.ttl");

IRI mergedOntologyIRI = IRI.create(output2);
OWLOntologyManager manager = OWLManager.createOWLOntologyManager();

OWLOntology ontology1 = manager.loadOntologyFromOntologyDocument(new 
File("/ontology_management/DOID_CURRENT/doid.ttl"));

OWLDocumentFormat format = manager.getOntologyFormat(ontology1);

// save the merged ontology in Turtle format
TurtleDocumentFormat newFormat = new TurtleDocumentFormat();

// will copy the prefixes over so that we have nicely abbreviated IRIs
// in the new ontology document
if (format.isPrefixOWLOntologyFormat()) {
      newFormat.copyPrefixesFrom(format.asPrefixOWLOntologyFormat());
}

//Using HashSet to avoid duplicated entries
Set<OWLAxiom> axiomsall = new HashSet<OWLAxiom>();
Set<OWLImportsDeclaration> importsall = new HashSet<OWLImportsDeclaration>();

try {    
    ontology1.getAxioms().forEach(c -> {axiomsall.add(c);});
    ontology1.getImportsDeclarations().forEach(c -> {importsall.add(c);});
    ontology2.getAxioms().forEach(c -> {axiomsall.add(c);});
    ontology2.getImportsDeclarations().forEach(c -> {importsall.add(c);});

    mergedOntology = manager.createOntology(mergedOntologyIRI);

    manager.addAxioms(mergedOntology, axiomsall);

} catch (OWLOntologyCreationException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} 
//Adding the import declarations
for(OWLImportsDeclaration decl : importsall){
    manager.applyChange(new AddImport(mergedOntology, decl));
}

Ok, the code above got me to this point: 

@prefix : <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/doid.owl#> .
@prefix fn: <http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions#> .
@prefix obo: <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/> .
@prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> .
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix xml: <http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace> .
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
@prefix doid: <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/doid#> .
@prefix foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .
@prefix sesame: <http://www.openrdf.org/schema/sesame#> .
@prefix oboInOwl: <http://www.geneontology.org/formats/oboInOwl#> .
@base <file:/ontology_management/DOID_MERGED/doid_do.ttl> .

<file:/ontology_management/DOID_MERGED/doid_do.ttl> rdf:type owl:Ontology .

So now I have all prefixes, but the Ontology's properties are not there (that is what I'm mostly interested in)

What you mean isn't called "properties" but prefix declarations. And next time, it would be good to provide with some code how you load/save the ontology:

OWLOntologyFormat format = manager.getOntologyFormat(YOUR_FIRST_ONTOLOGY);

// save the merged ontology in RDF/XML format
RDFXMLDocumentFormat newFormat = new RDFXMLDocumentFormat();

// will copy the prefixes over so that we have nicely abbreviated IRIs
// in the new ontology document
if (format.isPrefixOWLOntologyFormat()) {
    newFormat.copyPrefixesFrom(format.asPrefixOWLOntologyFormat());
}
manager.saveOntology(YOUR_MERGED_ONTOLOGY, newFormat, IRI.create(file.toURI()));

Copying ontology annotations:

manager.applyChanges(
                    ontology1.getAnnotations().stream()
                            .map(an -> new AddOntologyAnnotation(mergedOntology, an))
                            .collect(Collectors.toList()));

Regarding merging of ontologies, it's much easier to use the existing methods:

Set<OWLOntology> ontologies = ...

OWLOntology mergedOntology = manager.createOntology(mergedOntologyIRI, ontologies, false);

or just use the class org.semanticweb.owlapi.util.OWLOntologyMerger ...
