Abstract
Pattern-based, modular ontologies have several beneficial properties that lend themselves to FAIR data practices, especially as it pertains to Interoperability and Reusability. However, developing such ontologies has a high upfront cost, e.g. reusing a pattern is predicated upon being aware of its existence in the first place. Thus, to help overcome these barriers, we have developed MODL: a modular ontology design library. MODL is a curated collection of well-documented ontology design patterns, drawn from a wide variety of interdisciplinary use-cases. In this paper we present MODL as a resource, discuss its use, and provide some examples of its contents.

基于模式的、模块化的本体有几个有益的特性，它们适合于公平的数据实践，特别是当它涉及到互操作性和可重用性时。然而，开发这样的本体具有很高的前期成本，例如，重用一个模式的前提是首先意识到它的存在。因此，为了帮助克服这些障碍，我们开发了modl：模块化本体设计库。modl是一个文档化的本体设计模式的集合，从各种跨学科的用例中提取。本文介绍了modl作为一种资源，讨论了它的用途，并给出了其内容的一些例子。
