Representing the Component Library into Ontology Design Patterns

Abstract

For Ontology Design Patterns (OP) to be widely adopted by conceptual modelers, we need a critical amount of them, and that amount should be larger for patterns that describe good practices for modeling content (ie, Content Patterns or CP), e.g. about time, space, events, biological entitites, medical cases, legal norms, etc. It is possi- ble and desirable to reuse existing repositories that contain modeling solutions, and to represent them as OPs. This paper analyzes some com- ponents from the Component Library (CLIB), proposing some solutions to represent them into OWL2 CPs. Some constructs from CLIB compo- nents need the expressivity of rule languages in order to fully represent them, but these extra-features can be separated from the basic ontolog- ical content. Additionally, CLIB components are shown to be enrichable with the pattern annotation schema dened for OPs, which also allows a quick upload and publication on ontologydesignpatterns.org.

Associated Projects

Automated User-Centered Reasoning and Acquisition System The goal of this project is to build a generic knowledge acquisition capability for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Using the system, the scientists will be able to formulate their knowledge in the three science domains, and the high school students will be able to pose Advanced-Placement style questions and get user appropriate explanations.
