Title:	Autumn 2009 - ODPs@UPM
Author(s):	EvaBlomqvist

Goal:

Teaching ODPs in an ontology engineering course at UPM, Madrid.

Brief description

The ODP part of this course contains a 2 hour lecture on ODPs and a homework exercise. Instructions for the homework can be found below. Lecture slides are found under the heading "Resources".

Before the lecture:

Read the following two papers:
- Ontology Design Patterns. By: Aldo Gangemi and Valentina Presutti. In: Handbbok on Ontologies, 2nd edition.
- eXtreme Design with Content Ontology Design Patterns. By: Presutti et al. Published at WOP2009 (collocated with ISWC2009).

Instructions for homework exercise:

Work in pairs of two students.
Study the Content ODPs in the catalogue (in this wiki, see menu on the left 'catalogues'->'Content ODPs'), decide which ones you want to use, download and reuse their OWL building blocks while modelling.
Try to apply the XD method if you find it useful to structure your work.
Either use the XD plugin for the NTK to find and get the patterns, or use the portal (the catalogue in this wiki) and just download the OWL-files, put them in your workspace folder, import them into your current ontology in the NTK and then specialize/compose etc. If you want to use the XD plugin some instructions can be found here.
Solve the modelling problem (see exercise below). The CQs and contextual statement are your requirements, the rest is just an example scenario description.
After working on the problem for 3 hours (or less if you finished the task already) save the OWL file and send it to me (evabl444<<at>>gmail<<dot>>com or eva<<dot>>blomqvist<<at>>istc<<dot>>cnr<<dot>>it). This helps us to see how difficult you found the exercise, to assess the size and difficulty of the task.
When you send your first version of the ontology, you will receive a short questionnaire back, this is for evaluating the course and your experience with using the patterns. Please fill it out individually and submit it to me by e-mail.
When you think you have finished the ontology, i.e. covered all the CQs and the contextual statement, send the final version of the OWL-file to me (e-mail see above).
Deadline for the final submission is December 16 at 1pm.
