WHAT IS ODP
The OntologyDesignPatterns.org is a semantic web portal dedicated to ontology design patterns (OPs) for the Semantic Web developed in the context of the 
project.
ODP PEOPLE
ODP Users are all semantic web users who are interested in best practices of ontology design and ontology engineering. They own an ODP account that can be required from the ODP account request page.
ODP official catalogue is managed by a typical reviewing mechanism. For this reason ODP has two editors in chief:
and a Quality Committee.
Furthermore, the administrators take care of the design and maintenance of ODP, while the Quality Committee assures the quality of the official catalogue.
CONTENT AND FUNCTIONALITIES
OPs are of different types. Currently ODP manages Content OPs. Next step will be to manage Re-engineering OPs and Logical OPs.
- Community: the ODP user community area. This area is completely open to ODP user contribution and discussions. Currently, as explicit feature, ODP provides its users with a facility for sharing experienced modeling/design problems with the community, in order to find some help to solve them. New features will be added based on emerging requirements.
- Proposed Content OPs: area for Proposed Content OP submissions. This area collects all proposals of Content OPs. Users are guided through a specific form for compiling their proposal. The proposed patterns should come from practical and succesful experiences of ontology development. All proposed patterns belong to the ODP namespace named Submissions. Typically, proposed CPs include a downloadable OWL implementation.
- Reviews: area that collects all reviews of proposed Content OPs. Proposed content OPs are reviewed by at least two members of the Quality Committee, formed by ontology experts. Reviews are all published in the Reviews area. The aim of the reviews is twofold. On one hand, they provide ODP users with ontology design rationales related to a specific domain issue. On the other hand, reviews provide the author of a certain Content OP with guidelines for fixing possible problems to the aim of certifying the Content OP.
- Catalogue: the official Content OP catalogue. This area collects all Content OPs that are certified by the ODP Quality Committee. The only difference between the official and the proposed Content OPs is that the formers are guaranteed to be fully described (wrt to ODP specification), certified by the ODP Quality Committee, and always associated with a reusable OWL implementation available for download.
- Feedback: area where ODP users can give us feedbacks for improving ODP web portal through a specific form. ODP administrators uses this area to collect new requirements and discover issues to be solved.
