  Generic Ontology Design Patterns, GODPs, are defined in Generic DOL, an
extension of DOL, the Distributed Ontology, Model and Specification Language,
and implemented using Heterogeneous Tool Set.
  Parameters such as classes, properties, individuals, or whole ontologies may
be instantiated with arguments in a host ontology. The potential of Generic DOL
is illustrated with GODPs for an example from the literature, namely the Role
design pattern. We also discuss how larger GODPs may be composed by
instantiating smaller GODPs.
