Abstract
For semantic modelling, ontologies are a good compromise between formality and accessibility to the layman, but lack sufficient methodological support and development tools. In particular, Generic Ontology Design Patterns are suggested as a domain independent methodological tool. Qualitatively graded relations combine semantic relations with qualitative valuations. Qualitatively graded configuration is illustrated in two application domains: mobility assistants for users with a variety of age-related impairments, and allowed food for users with diet restrictions.

Notes
- 1.
X \(\sqsubseteq \) \({{\textsf {\textit{r}}}}\) \({\varvec{\mathsf{{ some}}}}\) Y means: for each x in X, some y in Y exists, related by \({{\textsf {\textit{r}}}}\). Because of the universal quantification of x and existential quantification of y, X should be a maximal and Y a minimal superclass, resp., for compositions \({{\textsf {\textit{r}}}}\) \(\circ \) \({{\textsf {\textit{s}}}}\).
- 2.
The strictly mnemonic names/numbers receive their semantics only through axioms.
- 3.
Using an inverse relation \({{\textsf {\textit{containsFOD}}}}\) is OK as long as it is completely specified on corresponding individuals. However, care has to be taken for axioms on the inverse: seemingly equivalent axioms on the original relation do not hold in general and are not deduced (similarly for \({{\textsf {\textit{provides}}}}\) as an inverse of \({{\textsf {\textit{providedBy}}}}\), Fig. 2).
