One of the original motivations for developing ontologies was that they were to act as generic domain models which can be easily reused and repurposed. However, ontology modeling for applications in practice is often driven by very concrete use cases, and thus the corresponding ontologies are often strongly tailored towards meeting very specific use case requirements. As a consequence, ontologies in practice are often not easy to repurpose. In this presentation, we discuss how to model ontologies in such a way as to simplify future reuse. In particular, we will discuss modularization of ontologies, the role of ontology design patterns, and ontology views. Our observations furthermore expose limitations of current description logics which may stimulate research investigations.
