Summary

Computational ontologies in the context of information systems are artifacts that encode a description of some world, for some purpose. Under the assumption that there exist classes of problems that can be solved by applying common solutions (as it has been experienced in software engineering), we envision small, task-oriented ontologies with explicit documentation of design rationales. In this chapter, we describe components called Ontology Design Patterns (OP), and methods that support pattern-based ontology design.
We present a typology of OPs, and then focus on Content Ontology Design Patterns in terms of their background, definition, communication means, related work beyond ontology engineering, exemplification, creation, and usage principles. At the time of chapter’s final version, recently performed experiments of patternbased ontology design show remarkable quality improvement within some sample ontology design projects, specially in terms of compliance to tasks expressed as competency questions or scenarios.

With the exception of Logical OPs.

In software engineering, formal approaches to design patterns, based on dedicated ontologies, are being investigated, e.g. in so-called semantic middleware [34].
 
4
Eclipse (http://​www.​eclipse.​org/​) is a programming environment used for developing Java projects.
 
7
In the pragmatics of an ontology designer, the fact that all modelling solutions are representable as higher-order logic expressions is hardly relevant, and such implicit reengineering has been never documented as actually happening.

Notice that the second requirement would also require to represent membership relation between a person and a band. The collection entity CP available at http://​www.​ontologydesignpa​tterns.​org/​cp/​owl/​collectionentity​.​owl addresses membership. We do not include the description of this CP and its usage for the sake of brevity.
