Abstract

In the last decades, the meta-modelling problem has received increasing attention in the conceptual modelling and semantic web communities. We have proposed a solution to this problem in the context of ontological modelling which consists in extending a fragment of the Web Ontology Language OWL with a meta-modelling constructor to equate instances to classes. Even though there are methodologies and patterns that help the ontology engineer to conceptualize a domain using ontologies, there is a lack of such guides for the meta-modelling approaches that extend OWL. In this work we introduce a design pattern that guides in the conceptualization of domains for which there are requirements at different knowledge levels, in particular for different user perspectives.

Note that even though our extension of \(\mathcal {SHIQ}\) does not consider nominals, we declare a Tbox axiom including them, for the sole purpose of illustrating the usefullness of the rules on rules.
