By K. Janowicz, P. Hitzler, A. Gangemi

The use of ontologies for data and knowledge organization has become ubiquitousin many data-intensive and knowledge-driven application areas, in science, industry,and the humanities. At the same time, ontology engineering best practices continueto evolve. In particular, modular ontology modeling based on ontology designpatterns is establishing itself as an approach for creating versatile and extendableontologies for data management and integration.This book is the very first comprehensive treatment of Ontology Engineering withOntology Design Patterns. It contains both advanced and introductory materialaccessible for readers with only a minimal background in ontology modeling. Someintroductory material is written in the style of tutorials, and specific chapters aredevoted to examples and to applications. Other chapters convey the state of the artin research regarding ontology design patterns.The editors and the contributing authors include the leading contributors to thedevelopment of ontology-design-pattern-driven ontology engineering.
