Extreme Design (XD): Pattern-based Ontology Design

Abstract

The tutorial provides a method named eXtreme Design, based on good practices i.e., ontology design patterns, for the development of ontologies. We illustrate theoretical aspects of ontology design patterns, and analyse some relevant samples taken from a catalogue of ontology design patterns. The tutorial is hands-on driven, in the sense that it focuses on sessions with ontology design activities, performed by using the XD tool. As a final "exercise" the participants will collaboratively design a small ontology.
