The document discusses ontology design patterns (ODPs), which are reusable solutions to common modeling problems when building ontologies. It provides an overview of the history and use of ODPs, including in the domain of bio-ontologies. Various types of ODPs are described, such as extensional patterns and content patterns. The advantages of using ODPs in ontology engineering are improved modularity, reusability, communication and more. Guidelines for documenting and applying ODPs are also presented.
