Hi,
OntologyDesignPatterns.org is indeed the place to discuss ontology
patterns. It's also good to know which patterns are useful in practice,
and linked-data vocab patterns are used in vocabs that are themselves
effectively used to describe data. The "known uses" field is actually
empty for most patterns on the ODP portal, this should evolve as
vocabularies are designed using patterns. Let's explicit links between
the two efforts!
Cheers,
François

Hi folks,
Ian Davis and I have been working on a catalogue of Linked Data
patterns which we've put on-line as a free book. The work is licensed
under a Creative Commons attribution license.
This is is still a very early draft but already contains 30 patterns
covering identifiers, modelling, publishing and consuming Linked Data.

More background at [1]. We'd be interested to hear your comments, and
hope that it can become a useful resource for the growing community of
practitioners.
Looks like a great start, well done!
It would be nice to see some reference to, and inclusion of, the
patterns than came out of SWBP. E.g. you currently seem to have one
variant of the three n-ary relation patterns and I couldn't spot the
classes-as-subjects pattern (but maybe didn't look hard enough).
Might also want to reference the ontology design patterns portal [1]
which has some patterns relevant to the modelling section.
Any plans to make this a wiki so other people can contribute or at least
comment?
Dave
