Abstract. Correspondence patterns have been proposed as templatesof commonly used alignments between heterogeneous elements in on-tologies, although design tools are currently not equipped with handlingthese definition alignments nor pattern alignments. We aim to addressthis by, first, formalising the notion of design pattern; secondly, defin-ing typical modelling choice patterns and their alignments; and finally,proposing algorithms for integrating automatic pattern detection intoexisting ontology design tools. This gave rise to six formalised patternalignments and two efficient local search and pattern matching algo-rithms to propose possible pattern alignments to the modeller.
