Owl:import not used in stardog: how reference single dbpedia class?

I want to reference a single About: http://dbpedia.org/resource/ class namely Language. In my rdf it looks like this

<owl:Ontology rdf:about="https://w3id.org/def/temp_ont">
    <dc:title>The Linguistics of Temperature Terms Ontology</dc:title>
    <dc:description>An ontology for capturing cross-linguistic temperature terms and their meanings.</dc:description>
	 <owl:imports rdf:resource="http://www.lexinfo.net/ontology/3.0"/>
	 <owl:imports rdf:resource="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Language"/>
</owl:Ontology>

Stardog ignores owl:imports statements, but it seems wasteful to load the entire dbpedia into stardog just to ground this one reference in another ontology. Is there some middle road?
