Latest ODP News!

OntologyDesignPatterns.org is a Semantic Web portal dedicated to ontology design patterns (OPs). The portal has been developed in the context of the NeOn project (http://www.neon-project.org).

How can ODP help me?

• The ODP 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 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 area in the portal. ODP provides its users with a facility for sharing experience and modeling/design problems. Need help solving a modelling problem? This is the place to go!

• You can also 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!

There is much more...
