An Ontology Design Pattern (OP) is a modeling solution to solve a recurrent ontology design problem.

We have identified several types of OPs, and have grouped them into six families as shown in the figure below.

• Structural OPs
  • Logical OPs
  • Architectural OPs
• Correspondence OPs
  • Re-engineering OPs
  • Mapping OPs
• Content OPs (CPs)
• Reasoning OPs
• Presentation OPs
  • Naming OPs
  • Annotation OPs
• Lexico-Syntactic OPs
