Ontology Analysis Based on Ontology Design Patterns

The so-called Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs), which have been defined as solutions to ontological design problems, are of great help to developers when modelling ontologies since these patterns provide a development guide and improve the quality of the resulting ontologies. However, it has been demonstrated that, in many cases, developers encounter difficulties when they have to reuse ontology...

eXtreme Design with Content Ontology Design Patterns

In this paper, we present eXtreme Design with Content Ontology Design Patterns (XD): a collaborative, incremental, iterative method for pattern-based ontology design. We also describe the first version of a supporting tool that has been implemented and is available as a plugin for the NeOn Toolkit. XD is defined in the context of a general approach to ontology design based on patterns, which is...
