Abstract
The ‘Foundations of Software Languages’ (FSL) ontology integrates software languages, tools, artifacts, concepts, technological spaces, and engineering activities. FSL features types of resources that must be treated both as objects of discourse and as classifiers, for example, when modelling artifact kinds or language concepts. FSL leverages OWL 2 punning as a pragmatic encoding for such dual roles, thereby serving as a case study for a domain ontology that could benefit from proper multi-level modelling support.
