Abstract
Ontology design patterns have been pointed out as a promising approach for ontology engineering. The goal of this paper is twofold. Firstly, based on well-established works in Software Engineering, we revisit the notion of ontology patterns in Ontology Engineering to introduce the notion of ontology pattern language as a way to organize related ontology patterns. Secondly, we present an overview of a software process ontology pattern language.
