Kurzfassung
The web ontology language OWL is still a very young language.
Experience with the language will build an increasing pool of
ontology design patterns and best practises.
In this paper we introduce macros for OWL ontologies. Macros are able to
formally specify and capture design patterns for the knowledge engineering
task with OWL ontologies. Thus the user is enabled to conveniently
reuse them. Macros lead to an enhanced maintainability of the ontology,
to a higher level of abstraction in the specification (and thus closer to
the human conceptualization), to a faster and less error-prone creation
of the ontology (and thus to lower costs) and to automation of several
tedious tasks in the ontology life cycle.
We present example macros, discuss further applications, advantages and
problems of macros, and discuss the development of an implementation
to enable the usage of macros.
