Abstract

While the formal modeling of part-whole relationships has been of interest, and studied, in many fields including ontology modeling, as of yet there has been no dedicated ontology design pattern which goes beyond the modeling of an absolute minimum. We correct this by providing two patterns based on Winston's landmark paper, "A Taxonomy of Part-Whole Relations".
