Abstract

Debugging inconsistent OWL ontologies is a time-consuming task. Debugging services included in existing ontology engineering tools are still far from providing adequate support to ontology developers and domain experts for this task, due to their lack of efficiency or precision when explaining the main causes for inconsistencies. We present a catalogue of common antipatterns found in inconsistent ontologies that can be used in combination with these tools to make this task more effective.
