DOL

The Distributed Ontology, Modeling and Specification Language – DOL

The Distributed Ontology, Modeling and Specification Language (DOL) has been adopted as OMG standard in October 2018. 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.

Ontohub is a web-based repository engine speaking DOL. 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 files of different types, including DOL.
