Abstract
Generic Ontology Design Patterns, GODPs, encapsulate design details, hiding the complexity of modeling. As a separation of concerns, they are to be developed by ontology experts, while their safe (re-)use is entrusted to domain experts, who may focus on appropriate instantiations; these effectively document the design decisions. The deployment to the domain of robotics is demonstrated by simple GODPs for adding new objects, relating them consistently to a given ontology. Advanced GODPs show how semantic device properties such as qualitative capabilities can be deduced from quantitative data in a general way.
