• Taking in consideration the works on software patterns in Software Engineering and with the aim of introducing ontology design patterns in the Ontology Engineering field for helping software engineers and ontology practicioners to develop ontologies faster, cheaper and better, in this paper we propose a general template for describing ontology design patterns (based on the well-accepted format for software engineering patterns). We also provide a first version of a catalog of ontology design patterns (exemplified with an OWL DL implementation) organized into three different categories: logical patterns, architectural patterns and content patterns.
