Abstract
Developing ontologies from scratch is a hard task, since an ontology is expected to provide a comprehensive and coherent representation of a specific portion of the world. Thus, reuse is highly recommended in ontology development, allowing ontologies to be build based on pre-existing models, leading to better quality results. In this sense, Ontology Patterns (OP) have been appointed as interesting tools to facilitate reuse, and several authors from the Ontology Engineering community have already proposed OPs and mechanisms to apply them. However, automated systems to support their use in practice are still missing. In this paper, we present an ontology editor extension that fills this gap, supporting Domain-related OPs reuse and management. This extension includes a catalogue of Domain related OPs, exemplified in this paper through a set of OPs for the Collaboration domain.
