=== What is ODP ===

The [[Main_Page| OntologyDesignPatterns.org]] is a semantic web portal dedicated to ontology design patterns (OPs) for the Semantic Web developed in the context of the [[Image:Neonlogo.jpg]] project (http://www.neon-project.org).

=== ODP People ===

ODP Users are all semantic web users who are interested in best practices of ontology design and ontology engineering. They own an ODP account that can be required from the [[Special:RequestAccount| ODP account request page]].

ODP [[Catalogue:Main| official catalogue]] is managed by a typical reviewing mechanism. For this reason ODP has two editors in chief:

* [[User:AldoGangemi| Aldo Gangemi]]
* [[User:ValentinaPresutti| Valentina Presutti]]

and a [[QualityCommittee|Quality Committee]].

Furthermore, the [[Administrators| administrators]] take care of the design and maintenance of ODP, while the [[QualityCommittee|Quality Committee]] assures the quality of the [[Catalogue:Main| official catalogue]].

=== Content and Functionalities ===

OPs are of [[OPTypes| different types]]. Currently ODP manages [[:Category:ContentOP| Content OPs]]. Next step will be to manage [[:Category:ReengineeringOP| Re-engineering OPs]] and [[:Category:LogicalOP| Logical OPs]].

* [[Community:Main|Community]]: the ODP user community area. This area is completely open to ODP user contribution and discussions. Currently, as explicit feature, ODP provides its users with a [[Community:PostModelingIssue| facility for sharing experienced modeling/design problems]] with the community, in order to find some help to solve them. New features will be added based on emerging requirements.
* [[Submissions:Main|Proposed Content OPs]]: area for [[:Category:ProposedContentOP| Proposed Content OP]] submissions. This area collects all proposals of Content OPs. Users are guided through a [[Submissions:ProposeCP| specific form for compiling their proposal]]. The proposed patterns should come from practical and succesful experiences of ontology development. All proposed patterns belong to the ODP namespace named ''Submissions''. Typically, proposed CPs include a downloadable OWL implementation.
* [[Reviews:Main|Reviews]]: area that collects all reviews of proposed Content OPs. Proposed content OPs are reviewed by at least two members of the [[QualityCommittee|Quality Committee]], formed by ontology experts. Reviews are all published in the [[Reviews:Main| Reviews area]]. The aim of the reviews is twofold. On one hand, they provide ODP users with ontology design rationales related to a specific domain issue. On the other hand, reviews provide the author of a certain Content OP with guidelines for fixing possible problems to the aim of certifying the Content OP.
* [[Catalogue:Main|Catalogue]]: the official Content OP catalogue. This area collects all [[:Category:CertifiedContentOP| Content OPs that are certified]] by the ODP [[QualityCommittee| Quality Committee]]. The only difference between the [[:Category:CertifiedContentOP| certified]] and the [[:Category:ProposedContentOP| proposed]] Content OPs is that the formers are guaranteed to be fully described (wrt to ODP specification), certified by the ODP [[QualityCommittee|Quality Committee]], and always associated with a reusable OWL implementation available for download.
* [[Feedback:Main|Feedback]]: area where ODP users can give us [[Feedback:PostFeedback| feedbacks for improving ODP web portal through a specific form]]. ODP administrators uses this area to collect new requirements and discover issues to be solved.
* [[Community:Domain| Domain]]: the list of domains. This page lists all domains that are defined in ODP, and provides users with a facility to create new ones. Each Content OP or Modeling Issue is associated to a domain, this is why this page is important. Before to propose your Content OP or to post a modeling issue be sure your domain is already on the list or create a page for it.

		+	=== How can ODP help me? ===
		+
		+	* The ODP [[Catalogue:Main\| official catalogue]] contains ontology design patterns (OPs) to help you in your design efforts, and the quality control of the portal ensures that you can trust what you reuse. OPs are of [[OPTypes\| different types]] and can help you in many different ways when modelling, '''browse around the portal and find out how OPs can help you'''!
		+
		+	* There is a [[Community:Main\|community area]] in the portal. ODP provides its users with a [[Community:PostModelingIssue\| facility for sharing experience and modeling/design problems]]. Need help solving a modelling problem? [[Community:Main\|This]] is the place to go!
		+
		+	* You can also [[Submissions:Main\|propose content OPs]]. The proposed content patterns (CPs) should come from practical and successful experiences of ontology development. Typically, proposed CPs include a downloadable OWL implementation ready for reuse!
		+
		+	=== How do I join the initiative? ===
		+
		+	ODP users can be any Semantic Web users who are interested in best practices of ontology design and ontology engineering. If you want to contribute, request and account from the [[Special:RequestAccount\| ODP account request page]].
