Generic Ontology Design Patterns at Work
2nd International Workshop on Bad Or Good Ontology (BOG). Part of Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO), volume 2518 of CEUR Workshop Proceedings, (2019)Abstract
Generic Ontology Design Patterns, GODPs, are defined in Generic DOL, an extension of the Distributed Ontology, Model and Specification Language, and implemented using the Heterogeneous Tool Set. Parameters such as classes, properties, individuals, or whole ontologies may be instantiated with arguments in a host ontology. The potential of Generic DOL is illustrated with GODPs for an example from the literature, namely Role. We will also discuss how larger GODPs may be composed by instantiating smaller GODPs.
