Hi Leigh, good news :) Some obvious links between your list of "modelling patterns", and the "content" and "logical" pattern catalogues in ODP: - Ordering relation [1] can be linked to the OWL small vocabulary (we call those task-oriented, small vocabularies "content patterns"): sequence.owl [2] - N-Ary relation [3] has several counterparts: the W3C SWBPD note on n- ary relations [4], the content pattern situation.owl [5], and other content patterns for specific classes of n-ary relations (participation, classification, part-of, membership, etc.) that can be found in the ODP portal - Topic relation [6] can be linked to the OWL small vocabulary: topic.owl [7] Moreover, it seems that the other types of patterns you have singled out: "identifier", "application" and "publishing" were partly covered in the literature about ontology design patterns (our tutorial at [8] is a pragmatic starting point), but no place has been created yet in the portal, specially for the sake of linked data-oriented practices: it'd be great if anyone would create space for them in ODP, where there is dedicated support for semantic wiki forms, and semantic management of reviewing and discussions.
