The Distributed Ontology, Modelling and Specification Language – DOL

The Distributed Ontology, Modelling and Specification Language (DOL) aims at providing a unified metalanguage for

• “as-is” use of ontologies, specifications, and models (OSMs), formulated in a specific language,
• OSMs formalised in heterogeneous logics,
• modular OSMs,
• mappings (interpretations, alignments, and others) between OSMs.

A detailed overview of DOL is given in a Womo 2013 paper. This paper also contains examples. Some DOL examples for download are available here.

In order to upload a DOL file to Ontohub, go to some repository. Both in the 'Ontologies' tab and in the 'Ontology files and related files', you can upload a new ontology, which can also be a DOL file.
