Specifying Ontology Design Patterns with an Ontology Repository

Within the Common Logic Ontology Repository (COLORE), the notion of reducibility among ontologies has been used to characterize relationships among ontologies. This paper uses techniques such as relative interpretation to show how one set of ontologies within the repository can be reused to characterize the models of other ontologies that are used in a wide variety of domains. A central theme of the paper is that ontology design patterns can be formalized as core ontologies within the ontology repository.
