Content of the Portal

• The ODP official catalogue is managed by a peer-reviewing mechanism. In this catalogue you can find ontology design patterns 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 different types and can help you in many different ways when modelling, browse around the protal and find out how OPs can help You!

• There is a community area in the portal. ODP provides its users with a facility for sharing experience and modeling/design problems with the community, in order to find some help to solve them.

• You can also proposed content OPs.The proposed patterns should come from practical and succesful experiences of ontology development. Typically, proposed CPs include a downloadable OWL implementation.
