DOL

The Distributed Ontology, Model and Specification Language – DOL

The Distributed Ontology, Model 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, refinements, and others) between OSMs,
• networks of OMS and mappings.

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.
