Association for Ontology Design & Patterns (ODPA)
Welcome to the main page of the Association for Ontology Design & Patterns (ODPA). The ODPA’s goals are to promote high-quality ontology design and engineering, with a focus on methods and tools arising out of ontology design patterns. In particular, the ODPA 
- 	runs an annual workshop on ontology design and patterns (WOP), 
- 	maintains the ontologydesignpatterns.org portal ([this site]), 
- 	runs a public mailing list related to ontology design and patterns (a Google group), and
- 	engages in additional activities to promote ontology design & patterns, including the provision of dissemination materials, educational activities, and engagement with researchers and practitioners.
